हे का आहे
कम्युटेशन (शिक्षा कमी करणे) म्हणजे सरकार विद्यमान शिक्षेला त्याच प्रकारातील कमी कठोर रूपात बदलू शकते, बदललेल्या परिस्थितींची — जसे वय, आरोग्य, वर्तन, किंवा प्रकरणाबद्दलच्या विकसित झालेल्या दृष्टिकोन — दखल घेऊन; यासाठी दोषीची संमती लागत नाही, आणि हे अमर्याद स्वविवेकाने नव्हे तर कायद्यात ठरवलेल्या शिस्तबद्ध टप्प्यांनुसारच करता येते.
