9 GCA § 80.00 — under Disposition of Offenders.

9 GCA § 80.00

All terms of imprisonment specified in the Guam Codes imposed upon conviction of an offense shall be fixed terms, having a determined termination date set at the time of sentencing by the court, except as provided for extension of terms of imprisonment under §§ 80.32 and 80.36 of this Code. SOURCE: Added by P.L. 14-143:14 (Sept. 29, 1978). 2014 NOTE: Past print publications of the GCA included the following Comment, which was not an original annotation from the Criminal and Correctional Code (1977): COMMENT: This Section was added to make sure that the former California system of indefinite terms of imprisonment was not implemented in Guam. This Chapter as originally enacted appeared to allow such indefinite terms.
