| | life imprisonment |
 | | Life imprisonment as a sanction for the commission of a criminal offence is one of the most drastic penal sanctions that can be imposed on convicted offenders. | | | Sentencing children to life imprisonment without the possibility of release or a denial of all possibility of rehabilitation and reintegration is specifically prohibited by international law. | | | Although life imprisonment is an indeterminate sentence, it does not usually mean that prisoners remain in prison for life. |

| | Four persons convicted for murder and sentenced to life imprisonment approached the Supreme Court as their prayer for premature release was rejected by the West Bengal government even after they had been imprisoned for over 24 years, including the periods of remission. | | | He said in considering the case of a life convict the government would take into consideration the circumstances in each case, the character of the convict's crime, his conduct in prison and the probability of his reverting to criminal activities or instigating others to commit crime. | | | Justice Phukan, writing the judgement for the bench, said the only right which a life convict could be said to have acquired was a right to have his case put up by the prison authorities in time to the state government for consideration for premature release. |

| | Opinio Juris: Is Life Imprisonment an "Unusual" Punishment? |
| | But on Tuesday, Mexico’s Supreme Court decided to lift a ban on extradition of persons who would be subject to life imprisonment, reversing an earlier 2001 decision that had found such extraditions violated the prohibition on “unusual penalties” in Article 22 of the Mexican Constitution. | | | Second, the fact that for four years Mexico did not extradite persons who faced possible life imprisonment, reminds us that the United States is not the only state to take a dualist stance on the relationship between international and domestic law. | | | First, it opens the door to resolving a nascent treaty dispute over whether Mexico could deny extradition of U.S. nationals on the basis of the potential life imprisonment sentence to be imposed. |
