It is very easy for the criminal code to be taken in bad faith as no sentence recommendations exist! Therefore I am drafting this to fix that. So, here it is!
Criminal Code
...

2. Punishments
...

(3) If found guilty of any other crime listed above, the Judiciary will determine a sentence. The sentence must be proportionate to the offense., and if it involves a ban, the ban must be no more than:

a. 2 years for Identity fraud, Espionage and Blackmail
b. 1 year for Extortion and Defamation
c. 6 months for Corruption, Bribery, Electoral Fraud and Whistleblower Outing
d. 3 months for Vexatious Charges

(4) The Judiciary's sentence for Contempt of Court may be as they see fit, with no limitations.


As a tl;dr, this draft imposes the maximum sentences on crimes and things that the Judiciary is not allowed to consider when determining a sentence to ensure fairness.

Note that the sentences in the draft are not yet decided, I'm choosing them according to polls which will run in this thread each week
