How Long Is A Life Sentence?


Recommended Posts

Some scumbag from my old area has been done for 2 rapes and an attempted. Got 3 years and 2 life sentences. Knowing how soft england is i knew life wouldnt mean life and the fact he got two. Doesnt say how long hell serve though just wondering what his actually got? Kept until they decide to let you out ive always known as ipp not life. Hopefully someone inside can get to him n do the right thing anyway.

Depends on what the recommendation is by the trial/sentencing judge and then the home office. A life sentence rarely means a full life tariff and is normally given a rec by the judge of the minimum sentence to be served before you are considered for release. You would however be on license for the rest of your born days when released.

Depends on what youve done. Killing a man with your fists and feet will get you life to serve 18 years perhaps. Use a knife or weapon will get you life to serve 25 -30.

Just says he got 2 life sentences. He himself was inside for 5 years before he done these rapes. Imagine he thought he could come out n just move back to the area lol. Anyway he learnt he cant, moved and then done this. Mental to think he could be such an animal wasnt ever a mate of mine but hed been around with us when younger n seemed normal like everyone else.

The 3 year sentance is a de-terminate sentance which is 12 months- 3/5 years he'll do half of that on good behaviour.

The life sentance the judge has given him is a determinate sentance which is life 25 years or untill parole is agree'd. If the judge has given two life sentance's this is a tarriff added to the original sentance.....

In short...

 

He's getting banged up for along time.

He will be classed as a VP (vulnrable prisoner) or nonce/beast to me or you.

i knew a lad who killed some one drink driving got 8 year yet a lad i knocked about with years ago got near double that for a one punch killing both were plainly in the wrong and deserved jail but surely both offences should carry the same sentence or is it another example of our fecked up justice system
