It’s normal in the federal criminal system that after conviction/guilty plea the Pretrial Services department will research the defendant’s life, work history, criminal past; speak to the defendant him/herself, family, friends, associates; develop an understanding of the person; apply the Sentencing Guidelines to come up with a numerical score that determines the recommended range of time to be served. Then there’ll be a hearing before the trial judge where prosecution and defense can make their arguments for an appropriate sentence, and the judge will study all this and decide its length, as well as any fines/restitution if appropriate and post-release conditions of Probation supervision. ---
