The Criminal Policy Studies Group, made up by university Criminal Law permanent professors and lecturers and judges, magistrates and active public prosecutors in different levels of the Spanish criminal jurisdiction, has drawn up a manifesto against life sentence. It has been drawn up on the occasion of the approval of a report on the preliminary draft to extend the permanent prison reviewable by the Council of Ministers last Friday.

The chair professor of Criminal Law of the UJI Department of Public Law, Marisa Cuerda, is one of the main promoters of this initiative, as a member of the presidency of the Criminal Policy Studies Group. In addition to Cuerda, Cristina Guisasola Lerma, lecturer of Criminal Law and vice-dean of the UJI Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology and Security, has also signed the manifesto, as well as Antonio Fernández, secretary of the Faculty of Legal Sciences.

Therefore, the signatories, professors, university lecturers, judges, and public prosecutors committed to reality and constitutional values demand rigour in the legislative and media debate on crime and the revisable life sentence, and the immediate repeal of an unnecessary institution, cruel and incompatible with a system of criminal intervention based on reason and fundamental rights.
