adamlikesmusic Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 How long is a "life term"?Until you die. So whoever that is up there has to die 48 times before he can go free. I was just wondering if a certain number of years was considered one "life term". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xadamhudsonx Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 How long is a "life term"? There are many states where a convict can be released on parole after a decade or more has passed. For example, sentences of "15 years to life" or "25 years to life" may be given; this is called an "indeterminate life sentence", while a sentence of "life without the possibility of parole" is called a "determinate life sentence". Even when a sentence specifically denies the possibility of parole, government officials may have the power to grant amnesty or reprieves, or commute a sentence to time served.
