Rethinking Sentencing: The Case for Limiting Maximum Prison Terms and Ending Life-Without-Parole Sentences

Abstract Abstract
This paper, titled "Rethinking Sentencing: The Case for Limiting Maximum Prison Terms and Ending Life-Without-Parole Sentences," critically examines the current state of sentencing practices, with a focus on long-term imprisonment and life-without-parole (LWOP) sentences. Through an in-depth analysis, the study explores the historical evolution of these sentencing frameworks, the legal and theoretical underpinnings, and their broad social, economic, and psychological impacts. It presents a comprehensive argument for reforming sentencing practices by limiting maximum prison terms and abolishing LWOP sentences, emphasizing the urgent need for these reforms.
The paper explores the ethical and legal rationales for and against these reforms, emphasizing the principles of justice, proportionality, and human rights. Alternative approaches are considered through a comparative examination of international sentencing practices. Empirical evidence, such as statistical data and case studies, emphasizes the negative impacts of prolonged incarceration on both individuals and society, underscoring the importance of considering the human rights aspect in sentencing practices.
Moreover, the manuscript puts forth policy suggestions for legislative, judicial, and procedural modifications, endorsing parole eligibility and restorative justice strategies. The research culminates with an appeal to policymakers, legal experts, and advocacy organizations to reflect on the significant consequences of sentencing reform and the essentiality of providing optimism and the potential for recovery to every individual, highlighting the positive impact these reforms can have on the criminal justice system.
Keywords Sentencing reform, life-without-parole, maximum prison terms, criminal justice, human rights, rehabilitation, legislative changes, comparative analysis, restorative justice, and parole eligibility.
