Life imprisonment in Taiwan information


Life imprisonment is one of the five primary punishments stated in the Criminal code of Taiwan.[cc 1] All prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment are also automatically sentenced to deprivation of citizens' rights for life,[cc 2] which bars the subject from working as a public servant or running for public office.[cc 3] An inmate must serve at least 25 years before being eligible for parole.[cc 4]

As with the death penalty, life imprisonment cannot be sentenced to minor offenders (under 18) or elders over 80, and any such cases automatically receive reduced sentences.[cc 5]

Since there are no longer any crimes with mandatory death penalty, as a consequence all crimes punishable by death are also eligible for life imprisonment.
