      It might be an idea not to use practically the same colour for the minimum and maximum sentences permitted.

      I was scratching my head over Portugal. 😉

      Zoomed in, then tried to wipe off the smears around 60 years, then realized these are islands 😅

      Technically Norway has 21 years as maximum punishment, but the sentence can be extended by 5 years indefinitely as long as there are valid reasons to keep it going.

      E.g. Anders Breivik

      The meaning of life sentence can vary. In Finland it is about 12-22 years. If you were under 21 you can get out after 10 years. Minors cannot get life sentences.

      How fucking hard is it to use a basic sequential or divergent colour scale instead of just picking Microsoft office shades seemingly at complete random?!? „Map Porn“ my ass, this looks like something a 12 year old made

      Really, all Europe is green? Everyone got crazy in Portugal because one party suggested that we should have life in prison. It’s barbaric and medieval and all that.

      I didn’t imagine it was basically the rule for tue rest of Europe.

      In the Philippines, death penalty was abolished, 20 years ago (2006), by statute, but still permitted by the constitution.

      I thought Death Penalty was legally abolished in Russia.
      ‚legally‘, not ‚practically‘

    15. BrazilianProfessor on

      This shouldn’t include death penalty for military crimes during times of war. The Brazilian civilian limit is 40 years and the country haven’t faced war since 1870.

      Navalny’s wife might have a few words to say about the colour coding you have used for Russia

      That’s a fucking lie, Argentina does not have „Life imprisonment“, they just call it like that, but are like 25 or more years top and probably they can come out earlier on parole. Argentina is dark green top.

      In Spain life imprisonment is forbidden per the constitution. There’s the „Cadena perpétua revistable“ which is „permanent, reviewable imprisonment“, basically „we imprison you, but we’ll let you out once you’re reeducated“. The state of the prisoner has to be reviewed by law every 30 years. It has only been applied, for a double murder case of a father against his daughters.

      Can’t see all the islands from the map but it’s interesting how the US is the only country in the Western Hemisphere that has death penalty in straight red.

      Unfortunately, in Italy, there’s a difference between life imprisonment and life imprisonment without parole. In the first case, you can apply for parole after 26 years, or 21 for good behavior.

      The second option is rarely granted, and only for exceptional criminals, mafiosi, religious and political terrorists who represent a perpetual danger—that is, they have never renounced their faith or severed ties with their reference group. And all of this must be amply demonstrated, the life changed, and the victims compensated, otherwise you won’t get out.

      I say „unfortunately“ because previously, cooperation with the justice system against your group was also required, but the ECHR and the Constitutional Court removed this last point in 2022 because it was often impossible to obtain due to the inmate’s irrelevance or ignorance.

    24. Evilkenevil77 on

      Call it controversial if you will, but I think the death penalty should be retained for exceptional circumstances that have overwhelming evidence. Otherwise life imprisonment.

    25. MarsupialNo1220 on

      New Zealand’s “life imprisonment” is not life imprisonment. It’s maybe 12 years and then probation for life. There’s a murderer who got “life” living on a boat in a harbour near my parents. He recently got in big trouble for a violent altercation with another holiday maker where a boat was nearly sunk.

      The only person who is genuinely locked away for life is the stupid Australian prat who committed a terrorist attack here.

      „Life imprisonment“ is misleading for Canada. The range is 10-25 years, with exceptions for individuals deemed extremely dangerous. Lifelong sentences are typically viewed as cruel and unusual punishment. We used to have the faint hope clause for individuals sentences to more than 15 years. It was removed from the Criminal Code in 2011. While individual sentences may not exceed 25 years, there are circumstances under which a criminal can receive a „dangerous offender“ designation, which does extend their sentence. Young offenders (12-17) can’t receive „life“ sentences unless tried as adults.

      In Germany a „life sentence“ is 25 years. I know you said you „simplified“ it, but I dont think simplifying is a valid argument when it causes the information in the map to be wrong, misrepresented and/or confusing. Either put in the effort to make it accurate and true or just don’t make a map with that topic, if it is too complicated to portrait without it being wrong.

      While the maximum legal penalty in Korea is indeed the death penalty, it is only pronounced and not carried out. 

    32. kimmielicious82 on

      „for life“ in some countries doesn’t actually mean for life but it’s limited.

      for example in Germany, Denmark, and Austria „for life“ only means a minimum of 15 years with the average being 15 years in Denmark, 19 years in Germany, and 21 years in Austria.

      all are less than Portugal.

      this map could need much more research!

      There’s no death penalty in chile, although there’s a movement to get it back

      Life in New Zealand isnt life though.“ Minimum Non-Parole Period:

      Offenders sentenced to life imprisonment must serve a minimum of 10 years before becoming eligible for parole
      The sentencing judge can impose a longer minimum period if deemed appropriate for the severity of the crime
      Important Distinction: „Life imprisonment“ in New Zealand doesn’t automatically mean imprisonment for the natural life of the offender. Rather:

      The sentence itself is for life
      After serving the minimum non-parole period (typically 10+ years), the offender becomes eligible for parole consideration
      The New Zealand Parole Board then decides whether to grant release based on risk assessment and other factors
      Some offenders may never be granted parole and remain imprisoned for life“
