There are several benefits both to the prosecutor, the defendant, and the tax payers. The first is no trial and the related expenses. Neither the defense or the prosecutor have to take a chance on losing their case to a jury. The sentence is set to every ones satisfaction and there is no waiting period for it to begin. It also helps unblock the backlog of cases waiting to go to trial, which can sometimes leave the criminal out on the loose if he/she posted bail.

Trials take time. They are costly. The results are unknown in advance.

Reduces his/her workload. Saves time and money for the department. Trials are expensive, and if by jury, who knows what they'll do.
