Why do some countries give prison sentences that cannot be served?

The most severe punishment provided for by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is the death penalty. This preventive measure is used against the most dangerous criminals. However, since April 1997, the death penalty cannot be imposed or executed. Accordingly, today the most severe punishment is life imprisonment.

Some countries, in particular the United States, do not limit themselves to one life sentence. Particularly dangerous criminals can receive 2, 3, or even 10 life sentences. Today, Russian legislators have begun to adopt this practice. Below we will look at why prisoners are given two life sentences, and how this is implemented in practice.

What does “Two life sentences” mean? :))
