An Indiana Order for a Pre-sentence Investigation and Report (PSI) is a document produced by the court in Indiana prior to sentencing a defendant in a criminal case. It is an in-depth report that provides the court with insight into the defendant's background, criminal history, and other relevant factors to help the court decide on an appropriate sentence. It is typically ordered by the judge prior to sentencing and includes an interview with the defendant conducted by a probation officer, as well as reviews of the defendant's criminal history, educational background, employment history, and other personal factors. The PSI report is then submitted to the court and can be used in determining the defendant's sentence. The types of Indiana Order for a Pre-sentence Investigation and Report include the Standard PSI, the Modified PSI, and the Juvenile PSI. The Standard PSI is the most common type of PSI and provides a full evaluation of the defendant. The Modified PSI is used in certain cases where a more limited evaluation is needed. The Juvenile PSI is a special type of PSI used when the defendant is a juvenile.
