    1.  Criteria.  The  court  may  impose  a  sentence  of  unconditional
  discharge in any case where it is authorized to  impose  a  sentence  of
  conditional discharge under section 65.05 if the court is of the opinion
  that  no  proper  purpose would be served by imposing any condition upon
  the defendant's release.
    When a sentence of unconditional discharge is imposed  for  a  felony,
  the court shall set forth in the record the reasons for its action.
    2.  Sentence.  When  the  court  imposes  a  sentence of unconditional
  discharge,  the  defendant  shall  be  released  with  respect  to   the
  conviction  for which the sentence is imposed without imprisonment, fine
  or probation supervision. A sentence of unconditional discharge  is  for
  all purposes a final judgment of conviction.
