life sentence

Read a random definition: Bill of Rights

A quick definition of life sentence:

A life sentence is when a person is sent to prison for the rest of their life because they did something very wrong. Sometimes, if they behave well and show they are sorry, they might be allowed to leave prison early. But usually, they have to stay there forever.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A life sentence is a punishment imposed on a criminal wrongdoer after being found guilty by a court. It is a sentence that imprisons the convicted criminal for life, although in some jurisdictions, the prisoner may become eligible for release on good behavior, rehabilitation, or the like.

Example: John was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

This example illustrates how a life sentence is a punishment that keeps the convicted criminal in prison for the rest of their life without the possibility of release.
