The map is dubious/ confusing w.r.t. several countries (Russia, Germany, Switzerland,..) as discussed in Talk:Life_imprisonment. What is "certain restrictions" supposed to mean? --Roentgenium111 (talk) 17:52, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

certain restrictions
It's fairly bizarre to single out Russia and one other country as places where life sentences "may only be imposed under certain restrictions", without further explanation. Are we supposed to infer that, for the countries in red, there are no restrictions on the imposition of a life sentence??? --Trovatore (talk) 02:08, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

It is not singling Russia out. A few other countries are in green they are just small; look harder. And it has been revised to say that is reserved for men only. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.214.128.6 (talk) 22:08, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Sub-national jurisdictions
In Alaska, there is no life imprisonment; the maximum sentence is 99 years. In Chihuahua, a life sentence is possible under murder involving kidnapping; the maximum sentence in the rest of Mexico is 60 or 70 years.

Colombia
Hi, everyone.

Colombia has approved a reform to the Constitution that authorizes capital punishment for child rapists, and a further Constitutional reform to authorize capital punishment for feminicide is going around the Senate.

There's still a possibility the Constitutional Court strikes down the ruling, but maybe it's necessary to adjust the map to reflect Colombia has no longer abolished life imprisonment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.137.46.35 (talk) 23:17, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Macao
Hello everyone! The maximum sentence in Macao is 30 years, not life imprisonment. See Life imprisonment. Could someone who is familiar with the grammar help edit the map? Thanks! GoldWitness (talk) 03:37, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
