How long is the maximum time an intermittent sentence can be served?

The maximum time an intermittent sentence can be served is 14 days, excluding weekends and holidays. This type of sentencing allows individuals to serve their time in segments rather than consecutively, making it easier for them to maintain employment and family responsibilities.

Typically, intermittent sentences are structured to provide flexibility and encourage rehabilitation while still holding the individual accountable. By excluding weekends and holidays from the count, the system recognizes that many individuals may have significant obligations during these times that should not be interrupted when possible. This approach emphasizes a balance between punishment and the opportunity for rehabilitation.

Other options are incorrect as they suggest longer durations, which would not comply with the established limits for intermittent sentencing under Indiana law.
