The significance of hundreds of years of imprisonment in the United States

One. Sentence for hundreds of years is usually until death, unless you behave well in prison and try to reduce your sentence. It is a tradition in Britain and the United States to sentence a person to hundreds of years, because there is generally no death penalty in Britain and the United States. All legal scholars in some common law countries think that this expression can more accurately show how serious a person's crime is (for example, two murderers, one sentenced to 8 years and the other sentenced to 2 years, are both life imprisonment, but the concept of a person is different), so they are very supportive of this expression.

In fact, this is not a special case in the legal history of the United States, which is related to the legal system of the United States. There is no death penalty in many parts of the United States, so cumulative imprisonment is adopted, and there is no expression of commutation in the United States, only parole. These criminals who have been sentenced to thousands of years and hundreds of years of imprisonment are not allowed to be paroled and can only spend the rest of their lives in prison. In fact, this is equivalent to life imprisonment, but in the United States, the length of the sentence is used to indicate the severity of the criminal's crime. For example, a criminal sentenced to 2 will be sentenced to a felony criminal of 1 years, which represents the justice of the law. However, for the families of the victims, such justice has no substantive effect.

second, can you get a bail pending trial after sentencing

You can't get a bail pending trial after sentencing. Bail pending trial is a compulsory measure to prevent him from evading investigation, prosecution and trial and order him to put forward a guarantor or pay a deposit, and issue a letter of guarantee to ensure that he is summoned. If sentenced, you can apply for parole.

Article 81 of the Criminal Law stipulates that criminals sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, criminals sentenced to more than half of the original sentence, and criminals sentenced to life imprisonment, who have actually served for more than 13 years, can be released on parole if they consciously abide by prison regulations, receive education and reform, and do show repentance, and there is no danger of committing crimes again.

under special circumstances, with the approval of the Supreme People's Court, the above-mentioned penalty execution period can be exempted.

III: Can criminals be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment

Criminals can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment as long as they meet the conditions of being sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment. According to the law, if a criminal sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention suffers from a serious illness and needs to be released on parole for medical treatment, or if the criminal can't take care of himself, and the application of temporary execution outside prison will not harm the society, it can be temporarily executed outside prison. If a prisoner is sentenced to life imprisonment, but is pregnant or breast-feeding his own baby, it can also be temporarily executed outside prison.

legal basis

article 17 of China's criminal procedure law stipulates that this law shall apply to foreigners who commit crimes and should bear criminal responsibility. If a foreigner who enjoys diplomatic privileges and immunities commits a crime and should bear criminal responsibility, it shall be resolved through diplomatic channels.
