Legit.ng recently published an article about the length of life sentences in different countries. When one hears the term ‘life sentence,’ what most probably comes to mind is the said person spending the rest of their life in prison. However, that is, in most cases, not the case.
Different countries have varying laws that govern how long a life sentence is. This period is the minimum time one must serve in prison before becoming eligible for parole. Mostly, this period is determined by the underlying offence and other country-specific factors.
