Life imprisonment worldwide: principles and practice
The study aims to understand which crimes attract life sentences, how such sentences are implemented and the conditions under which prisoners serve them. It will also look at the human rights of those serving life sentences and how courts and prisons take rights into consideration, including whether it is acceptable to impose irreducible life sentences, thus incarcerating people without giving them some hope of release. The project is to culminate in a book, Life Imprisonment Worldwide: Principles, Law, and Practice, which is scheduled to be completed in July 2016.
