Note: Most Dept of Corrections homepages will have a search box to use, if you don't find what you are looking for.
Also, sometimes a state has sentencing and other such information in its judicial or other Web sites. So if you don't find what you are looking for in the above links, do a google search of only goverment sites by putting site:gov in front of your search terms.
For example once in Google, do a search of site:gov Arizona sentencing - or- site:gov Arizona "truth in sentencing"
