How many years in jail do you get for kidnapping one person?

If it is Kidnapping in the first degree in violation of P.L. 135.25, the sentencing possibilities are an indeterminite sentence with the minimum time in jail being a sentence of between 15 and 25 years, and the maximum expiration being life in prison. Meaning you can get somewhere between "15-life" and "25-life." If it is Kidnapping in the second degree in violation of P.L. 135.20, and you have no prior felony convictions, it will be a determinite sentence of between 5 and 25 years.


Why are some people incarcerated for longer than they have left to live?

When a person is incarcerated for a number of years easily exceeding their life expectancy (for example, sentenced to 500 years in prison), this typically meant that the person was convicted of many crimes, but none of those crimes were extreme enough to warrant life in prison or the death penalty, thus compounding the amount of years he/she must spend in prison. While being incarcerated for say, 500 years is effectively life in prison, the sentence is just part of legal proceedings.
