 Life imprisonment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Life imprisonment is a term used for a particular kind of sentence of imprisonment.
The effect of such a sentence varies between jurisdictions; many nations have a maximum possible period of time a prisoner may be incarcerated, or require the possibility of parole after a set amount of time.
In Poland, the prisoner sentenced to life imprisonment must serve at least 25 years in order to be eligible to parole.

 Prison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Individuals may also be committed to prison by a court before a trial, verdict or sentence, generally because the court determines that there is a risk to society or a risk of absconding prior to a trial; such pre-trial imprisonment is known as remand.
Crime and punishment is a wide, very controversial and deeply politicised area, and so too are discussions of prisons, prison systems, the concepts and practices of imprisonment; and the sanction of custody set against other non-custodial sanctions and against the capital sanction, a death sentence.
Prisons are often rated by the degree of security, ranging from minimum security (used mainly for nonviolent offenders such as those guilty of fraud) through to maximum security and super-maximum or supermax (often used for those who have committed crimes while imprisoned).

 DCBA Brief, Judicial Practice A Sentence of Periodic Imprisonment The Scope of the Rules
Traditionally a sentence of periodic imprisonment was imposed to resolve the conflict between the necessity of a jail sentence and desirability of maintaining gainful employment.
A sentence of periodic imprisonment may be modified or revoked by the court if the offender commits another offense, violates any of the conditions of the sentence, or violates any of the rules and regulations of the institution, agency or Department to which he had been committed.
Upon a finding that the defendant has violated the terms and conditions of periodic imprisonment, the court may modify the terms and conditions of periodic imprisonment, or revoke the sentence and resentence the defendant to any sentence which could have been imposed at the time of his original sentence.

The objective of this law is to incorporate in Israeli law the imprisonment of combatants who are not entitled to prisoner-of-war status, in a manner consistent with the provisions of international humanitarian law, particularly the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949.
Legislation like the "Imprisonment of Combatants no Entitled to Prisoner of War Status Law" are concessions to political expediency that undermine both the rule of law in Israel and the integrity of international law, and should not be allowed to stand.
On June 11, 2000, in a transparent attempt to legitimize an illegal situation, the Israeli Cabinet unanimously approved draft legislation entitled "Imprisonment of Combatants not Entitled to Prisoner-of-War Status Law, 5760-2000".

 I am not a number
Thus, some individuals are imprisoned for the good of society, irrespective of their actions, which may constitute crimes or which may simply be a result of their existence, regardless of what we might consider to be their natural rights to be free.
Some imprisonment takes place through operation of the “general will,” which may or may not be legitimately expressed by the government in charge.
The Prisoner holds that law which acts to imprison the individual is necessarily illegitimate, and that nearly any action on the part of the individual to destroy the system is a legitimate one.

 SSRN-The Optimal Use of Fines and Imprisonment When Wealth is Unobservable by A. Polinsky
Among other things, I demonstrate that if imprisonment sanctions are used, the optimal alternative imprisonment sentence is sufficiently high that high-wealth individuals prefer to pay a fine exceeding the wealth level of low-wealth individuals and bear a lower (possibly no) imprisonment sentence rather than to pretend to be low-wealth individuals.
In this case, it may be desirable when wealth is unobservable to impose an imprisonment sentence on offenders who do not pay the fine - who will be low-wealth offenders - in order to induce high-wealth offenders to pay the fine.
In a model in which there are two levels of wealth, I derive the optimal mix of sanctions, including the imprisonment sentence imposed on offenders who do not pay the fine - referred to as the alternative imprisonment sentence.

 NCPA - Crime And Gun Control - Incapacitating Career Criminals Lowers Crime Rate
Other experts say the increase in the U.S. prison population in recent years is one of the reasons crime rates have fallen: imprisonment incapacitates career criminals and deters others from committing crimes.
With fewer crimes there should be fewer criminals, and therefore less need for imprisonment.

 Women and Imprisonment in the u.s.
Although systematic imprisonment arose with industrialization, for centuries prior to that time unwanted daughters and wives were forced into convents, nunneries, and monasteries.
The only exception was in the South where slavery, not imprisonment, was the preferred form of control of Afroamerican people.l5 If the South had the lowest black imprisonment rate before the Civil War, this changed dramatically after the slaves were freed.
While imprisonment rates for women continue to rise, the public outcry is deafening in its silence.
