First Claim
1. A system for performing calculations related to a proposed or actual prison sentence, the system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
provide a sentence calculation platform adapted to assist a user with generating sentence output data related to a proposed or actual prison sentence, the sentence calculation platform including a plurality of sentence calculators that are configured to compute sentence output data for a variety of different sentencing scenarios, wherein each sentence calculator comprises a set of instructions pertaining to a unique sentencing scenario which, when applied to one or more numerical values, calculates specific sentence output data based on a set of rules that are adapted from a jurisdiction'"'"'s legal framework corresponding to that sentencing scenario;
provide a hierarchy of navigable menus to assist the user in selecting an appropriate sentence calculator from the plurality of sentence calculators based on a particular sentencing scenario, the hierarchy of navigable menus including selectable interface elements that are each associated with a subset of the sentence calculators;
select a sentence calculator based on the user'"'"'s interaction with the selectable interface elements;
transmit data for rendering a sentence calculator module on a client device associated with the user based on the selected sentence calculator, the sentence calculator module including an input portion configured to receive user input and an output portion configured to display the sentence output data;
receive user input entered in the input portion of the sentence calculator module, the user input including sentencing information comprising numerical values pertinent to the sentencing scenario associated with the selected sentence calculator;
determine the sentence output data for the proposed or actual prison sentence by applying the selected sentence calculator to the received user input; and
transmit the sentence output data for display on the client device associated with the user.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to assist users with calculating data related to a proposed or actual prison sentence. A sentence calculation platform provides a plurality of sentences calculators. Each sentence calculator is associated with a particular algorithm and a set of instructions for determining sentence output data based on the applicable legal framework. A sentence calculation module corresponding to a selected sentence calculator is transmitted for display on a client device of a user. User input is entered in an input portion of the module. Sentence output data is generated by applying the selected sentence calculator to the received user input. The sentence output data is transmitted for display in an output portion of the sentence calculation module displayed on the client device.
