I believe during sentencing a parole eligibility date is set. That date can, interestingly enough, be set way in the future—past the expected lifespan of the criminal.
The list I cited in my post (which is from Wikipedia) includes a section titled “Prisoners sentenced to one life imprisonment with possibility of parole after a period that exceeds a natural human life”.
Admittedly, I’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to the law, do I have something wrong here?
