"Separate commissions are coming up with two very different proposals for imposing longer prison sentences on sex offenders in the aftermath of the Dru Sjodin case.
One panel wants to increase prison terms within the state's current guidelines system, while the other envisions returning to open-ended sentences controlled by a parole board - an approach the state hasn't used for more than 20 years."
