What's the catch?  Why are criminal justice professionals hung up on the old school?  That's a dilemma - so I just as well call it as I see it.  Here's another quick one-page paper.  You will love it!  Honestly!
Dual Mode Sentencing was presented to the Judiciary Interim Committee July 16, 2014.  Here are two papers.  The first is a transcript of the presentation, as delivered.  Plus I give commentary on the circumstances surrounding the presentation.  Secondly, a rebuttal to using Dual Mode Sentencing was presented.  In the interest of fairness and transparency, I'm publishing it too.  But I'm not going to do that without making an analysis of the rebuttal.  You may review both sides, but keep an open mind please.
Can Dual Mode Sentencing be applied to solving the problems we have with Capital Punishment?  Sure.
The Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ) releasd their report on Justice Reinvestment Inititives. We did a mathematical analysys of the effects of implementing their recommendations, and found more dramatic and promising results than they did.
Legislators should be looking into Dual Mode Sentencing because it provides a basis for correct thinking about criminal justice reform.  It fixes the problem they have with reporting back to their constituents that they are doing a good job.  They can say, "The offender served the entire time that he was sentenced to completely pay his Debt to Society for the crime he committed, and then, on top of that, he was carefully evaluated using the best known methods for determining if he had a Risk of Recidivism of recommiting a crime, and only after that was he released." That sounds harsh, but it may mean the low-recidivism offender actually gets released sooner.  Harsher?  Easier? What it really means is that the decision is made correctly!

Utah Prisoner Advocate Network (UPAN) is an organization which helps inmate's family members navigate the rough world of having a loved-one in prison. They recognize (perhaps better than most) the trouble caused by their loved-ones' criminal behavior, and acknowledge, in many instances, the correct decision of putting their loved-one in prison. Even though their friend or family member is incarcerated, they still love them and are concerned about their welfare. UPAN advocates for fair treatment and responsible corrections decisions. They hold monthly meetings for mutual support and dissemination of information. On a personal note, UPAN has given audience to Dual Mode Sentencing, and for that they deserve a big shout-out --- THANK YOU!
