life imprisonment
Life imprisonment is a legal sentence where a person is confined in prison for the rest of their natural life. It is used for very serious crimes, often when the offender is considered a danger to society or has committed grave offenses. While it typically means imprisonment until death, some jurisdictions allow for the possibility of parole or early release after a certain period, depending on laws and the individual's conduct. Overall, it’s a form of punishment that removes someone from society permanently or for an indefinite period to ensure public safety and justice.
