Constitutions that prohibit life imprisonment
Are there any constitutions that prohibit life imprisonment, or say that all sentences shall not be longer than X years?—azuki (talk · contribs · email) 03:45, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Life imprisonment has pretty extensive coverage of each nation's views on the matter. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:47, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Repentant criminals
There is a law in Argentina, called "ley del arrepentido" ("repentant law") that says that someone jailed for taking part in a crime can have some benefits if he testifies about the crime, and his testimony helps to identify or capture other criminals of said crime of a higher rank, or even the mastermind itself. Are there similar laws in other countries? Which names do they have? Cambalachero (talk) 16:00, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
