Corrections population management commission, see chapter 353F.

Act 314, Session Laws 1986, amended this chapter to reflect a shift from the present policy underlying sentencing, which emphasizes rehabilitation, to one intended to achieve the goal of just punishment. Conference Committee Report No. 51-86.

Neither this chapter nor chapter 353 prohibits the Hawaii paroling authority from setting a prisoner's minimum term at a period equal to his or her maximum sentence. 97 H. 183, 35 P.3d 210.

Chapter not violated and pre-sentence report sufficiently complied with §706-602, where defendant asserted that court did not order or receive a pre-sentence correctional diagnosis and report as required by §706-601(1)(a), therefore, since the information required under §706-602 was not furnished to court for its consideration in imposing sentence, the sentences were not imposed in accordance with provisions of this chapter and were illegal. 10 H. App. 535, 880 P.2d 208.
