Changes pending. The States of Jersey has reviewed the laws to control work and housing in Jersey and has drafted a new law, the Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law, intended to simplify the regulations. The draft law is pending Privy Council sanction and is expected to come into effect in 2012.
Aggravated kidnapping...also a felony...carries a sentence of five years to life, depending on the facts of the case.4 And because kidnapping is a strike under California's three strikes law, you must serve at least 85% of your sentence before you are eligible for release.
Many states will authorize punishments that include up to life in prison for an aggravated kidnapping charge, whereas a standard kidnapping can range from 1-20 years. Though the exact ranges will vary, the doubling of sentencing ranges for aggravated kidnapping charges occurs in every state. In addition to the increased sentences, states will further penalize offenders of aggravated charges with stiffer parole laws, meaning the offender must serve a longer part of their sentence.
