The state of Massachusetts divides criminal charges into two basic categories: misdemeanors and felonies. 

Misdemeanors are considered less serious crimes than felonies. Unlike many other states, Massachusetts does not divide crimes within each of these categories into smaller classes. Instead, the state recommends sentences for individual crimes within each category. Possible penalties may include time in jail, time in prison and/or monetary fines. For the most serious felony convictions, maximum sentences may include life in prison.  If you are convicted of a crime in Massachusetts, the exact penalties you will face depend on several factors, including your criminal history, the nature of the crime and the discretion of the court.
