LIFE WITHOUT POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE DEFINITION
The FREE DICTIONARY By Farlex …
life without possibility of parole n. a sentence sometimes given for particularly vicious criminals in murder cases or
to repeat felons, particularly if the crime is committed in a state which has no death penalty, the jury chooses not to
impose the death penalty, or the judge feels it is simpler to lock the prisoner up and "throw away the key" rather than
invite years of appeals while the prisoner languishes on death row. Opponents of capital punishment often advocate
this penalty as a substitute for execution. It guarantees the criminal will not endanger the public, and the prospect of
never being outside prison is severe punishment.
