Real life inprisonment? I know they have 'life' inprisonment in some countries but it doesn't actually mean life. |
That's partially true. It means 15 years in prison. After the 15 years, the prisoner can apply for parole, which will be rejected if the person is still considered a threat to society. Then the prisoner gets the chance again years later. I don't know of any countries that doesn't have some way of keeping dangerous people in prison for the rest of their lives, though it has different names for different countries. In Norway it's for instance called preventive detention, which is basicly equivalent to life imprisonment in Germany. The "life imprisonment" sentence in Norway is something completely different though, and only exists in military penal code.
