how long is a life sentence?
(Learn how and when to remove these template messages) Life imprisonment (also known as a life sentence, lifelong incarceration, or life incarceration) is any sentence of imprisonment for a crime under which convicted persons are to remain in prison for the rest of their lives or until paroled.
The highest determined prison sentence that can be imposed in the ICC, aside from life imprisonment, is 30 years (article 77, section 1a). After this period, the court will review the sentence to determine whether or not it should be reduced.
