Life imprisonment
1 answer
Life imprisonment is a sentence imposed by a court in which a convicted individual is required to spend the rest of their life in prison without the possibility of parole. It is often considered one of the harshest punishments that can be given for a crime, and is typically reserved for serious offenses such as murder or high-level drug trafficking. In some jurisdictions, life imprisonment may also be imposed for multiple offenses or as a mandatory sentence for certain crimes. The length of time that a person must serve for a life sentence can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the case.
