How long is life in prison in the UK?
A life sentence is a "life sentence" regardless of the country in which it is imposed. Generally the sentencing will be, "life without the possibility of parole" or something similar.
The convicted person then will have at least one automatic appeal unless he or she entered a guilty plea, although entering such a plea in the US does not necessarily negate the possibility of an appeal.
Life Sentences in England & WalesThere are 3 forms of life sentence. #1 Mandatory life sentence, which must be imposed following a conviction for murder. #2 Discretionary life sentence is one of more than 70 offences, other than murder, for which the law allows a sentence up to a maximum of life imprisonment (Solomon 2004). This often includes serious sexual and violent offences such as manslaughter, grievous bodily harm and rape. #3 Is the automatic life sentence. Under section 2 of the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997, a life sentence was automatically imposed for a 2nd or subsequent conviction for a serious sexual or violent offence unless exceptional circumstances exist for not doing so. This was phased out in 2005, and replaced by the Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection, or IPP. This is normally imposed under similar circumstances to the old automatic life sentence, but the sentencing court has a little more discretion than under the old law. There are still automatic lifers in the prison system, and will be for some time to come.Each person sentenced to life will have a tariff set, which will be the minimum time that they will spend in custody for the purposes of retribution and deterrence. Once this has expired, they will not be released automatically, but will be when the Parole Board assesses that the risk they present to the public has sufficiently reduced in order that it is safe to release them.
On the average a life sentence prisoner spend 13.7 years in prison! Once released they will be supervised in the community for a period and for the rest of their life they are liable to be recalled to prison should they represent a risk to the public. There are approx. 1,500 life sentence prisoners being actively supervised in the community and over 300 were released into the community for the first time in 2003. During 2002, 26 people were recalled to prison, including 7 who had been in the community for 10 years.
Since life sentence population has been steadily increasing over the last 10 years, (a reflection both of prisoners serving longer periods in custody and more people receiving life sentences.) This is like to increase as the impact of IPP sentences increases and the Criminal Justice Act 2003 introduced normal tariffs of 15 years, 30 years and whole life for the offence of murder, potentially increasing the amount of time lifers spend in prison.

Police chaplains are generally volunteer members of the clergy who perform various spiritually-related tasks for law enforcement agencies. They may counsel officers wanting spiritual guidance or officiate at ceremonies such as funerals and memorial services. In some agencies, chaplains sometimes ride with patrol officers and respond to domestic violence calls and other situations where personal counseling may be of value. They usually have no actual police powers, although some complete the necessary training and can perform as sworn officers. They may wear police-type uniforms, but do not carry firearms unless they have completed police training.

Why do you think people were sent back to their original countries if they had a prison records?
I think it's because it is to stop an international inccident....also, they are probably not trusted.
In the United States, the government did not want to deal with immigrants who were potential criminals. In cities with high immigrant population, crime rates also tended to be high, so immigrants that had a high potential to cause trouble were not welcomed into the nation.
Its because they are immigrants and they need to go back to there country.

Under most circumstances, murder would be tried in a state court; if the defendant is in the military, it may be tried in a military court (federal). If the crime was committed as part of another federal crime or on federal property, the case would appear before a federal court.
Under certain circumstances, the defendant (and only the defendant) has the option to exercise federal courts' removal jurisdiction to move his or her case from state to federal court (as outlined in 28 U.S.C. § 1441).

19: Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
Joseph was treated poorly at first, but eventually he earned the trust of the warden leading him to appoint Joseph in charge of the prison.
Gen:39:21: But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

How much time do you serve on a 20 year sentence in state prison?
Twenty years.
A prison sentence is typically issued in two parts, the minimum (the time you must serve before being eligible for parole) and the maximum (the time you must serve--statutory time--before you would be discharged).
If the minimum is twenty years, and there is no "Good Time" law in your state, then you will serve twenty years before being considered for parole. With such a long minimum, it is highly unlikely you will receive parole your first time up. It is most likely that you will serve until the halfway mark between your minimum and maximum.
If the maximum (statutory time) is twenty years, refer to your minimum and check your expected release date.
If you were given a flat twenty year sentence, you will serve twenty years, provided there is no Disciplinary Credit awarded in your state.
What does it mean if a person is incarcerated DOC for 7 years but SES 5 years probation mean?

How much time will you serve on a four year sentence?
i believe it was 58 days off per year for good time and with this sentence length you could get 6 months is a halfway house ( They're worse than prison) so I think it'd be about 30-38 months if it was a drug charge and you go into drug program and complete it they knock off another year usually the wait to get in is 6 months to a year. plus you should get credit for anytime already served before your sentenced. goodluck.
Are criminals treated too harshly or too leniently?
I think it should be a lot harsher than it is. they shouldn't get massages and TV privileges and crap. Its ludicrous! Ive been treated worse as a kid for not doing my homework than a hardened criminal. and thats just not right.
Please do not take my word or anyone else's on this issue. Research legal cases on prison abuses yourself. Let the well informed judges and juries convince you that prison guards, like most people with large authority and small integrity, are criminals themselves.
What is the cost of divorcing a prison inmate in Wisconsin?
The procedure for divorcing an incarcerated spouse is the same as it would be if said spouse were not imprisoned. That being the case, the expense depends upon who the filing spouse chooses to be their attorney. There are no provisions for state assistance or a discount in legal fees based on a spouse being incarcerated. There are legal organizations that can assist in the dissolution of marriage process based on what the petitioner can afford.
