Abstract

The sentence given to Kenneth M. Allen, who pleaded guilty to burglary and misdemeanor charges in connection with the State House ballot-tampering scandal, has fueled a debate over first-time offenders and Maine's overcrowded prison system. Superior Court justice Donald Alexander defended the sentence, saying that Allen's status as a first-time offender and his apparent remorse were justification for the 25 days in jail, community service, fine and mandated psychiatric and alcoholic counseling which Allen received.
