- Summary:
- "Due to the infrequency and nature of life imprisonment, such sentences are of heightened interest to policymakers. In February 2015, the United States Sentencing Commission released Life Sentences in the Federal System, examining the application of life sentences by federal courts through fiscal year 2013. Using data from fiscal years 2016 through 2021, this report updates and augments the Commission's previous findings by examining the offenses that led to the life sentences imprisonment imposed, along with offender demographics, criminal histories, and victim-related adjustments."--Page 1.
