769.9 – Indeterminate sentence inapplicable where only punishment is life imprisonment; indeterminate sentence in cases where imprisonment for life discretionary; indeterminate sentence in cases involving major controlled substance offense | Michigan Law

Michigan law specifies when indeterminate sentencing applies, particularly noting that it does not apply when life imprisonment is the only punishment. Courts may impose either a fixed term or a life sentence within certain limits, especially in cases involving major controlled substance offenses. The law also details how courts should set minimum and maximum terms for sentences within their discretion.
