Problem description:

What is the maximum commutation of life imprisonment? How? This includes how hard he works and how hard his family works.

Analysis:

Ten years at most. Criminals should also actively reform themselves and strive to create conditions for commutation. At present, the prison implements a point system, just like the production team recorded work points in those years, including labor points, discipline points, health points and so on. When the commutation is completed, it will be reduced by the branch. The process of commutation must be reviewed by the procuratorate before the court can make a ruling. In fact, family can't play any role. What they can do is to try to get on well with prison guards or related leaders, take care of them when their sentences are reduced, or find lawyers to help them. Sometimes it's useful.

The process of sentencing is: if a life-imprisonment criminal does repent or perform meritorious service during the execution period, his sentence can be reduced after serving two years. The scope of commutation is: if there is repentance or meritorious service, it can generally be reduced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 18 years but not more than 20 years; Those who have made significant meritorious service may be reduced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 13 years but not more than 18 years. The term of imprisonment commuted from life imprisonment to fixed-term imprisonment shall be counted from the date of commutation.

If a life-imprisonment criminal commits a new crime during the execution of the penalty and is sentenced to less than fixed-term imprisonment, his sentence will generally not be reduced within two years from the date when the new crime judgment is determined; If the new crime is sentenced to life imprisonment, the starting time of commutation shall be appropriately extended.

The actual sentence executed after commutation, if sentenced to life imprisonment, shall not be less than 10 years, and the starting time shall be counted from the date when the life imprisonment judgment is determined.

There is also a way to get out of prison as soon as possible, which is legally called parole, that is, the measure of executing the remaining sentence outside prison.
