Life imprisonment or life incarceration
"is a sentence of imprisonment for a serious crime, often for most
or even all
of the criminal's remaining life, but in fact for a period which varies
between jurisdictions: many countries have a maximum possible period
of time
(usually 7 to 50 years) a prisoner may be incarcerated,
or require the possibility of parole after a set amount of time."
