Simple Definition
A new court commitment is when a person is sent to prison for a new crime they have committed. This is different from when someone is sent back to prison for breaking the rules of their parole. Commitment can also mean agreeing to do something in the future or being confined in a mental hospital or other institution. Sometimes people are committed voluntarily, but other times it is mandatory or discretionary, depending on the situation.
The law is a jealous mistress, and requires a long and constant courtship.
