The longest jail sentence passed was in the United States - 10,000 years for a triple murder. Dudley Wayne Kyzer was jailed for 10,000 years by a court in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 1981 for murdering his wife. He was then sentenced to two life terms for murdering his mother-in-law and a college student.

In 1994 Oklahoma rapist Darron Bennalford Anderson received a 2,200-year jail sentence. When he appealed and won a new trial, he was convicted again and resentenced to more than 90 additional centuries behind bars - including 4,000 years each for rape and sodomy, 1,750 years for kidnapping, 1,000 years for burglary and robbery, and 500 years for grand larceny.

In July 1997, the state Court of Criminal Appeals held that the grand larceny charge was double jeopardy on the robbery conviction and thus dismissed it. So the court cut Anderson's sentence by 500 years, speeding up his release date to the year 12,744!

i would say life sentence is a life sentence, 10 years of 100 years, until the person dies, what's the point of saying

i sentence you to ten thousand years in jail

they just use a life sentence instead cos thats really what it is but with a stupid number

Sentences that would astound Methuselah seem more hysteria than logical. Why not "Life in prison without possibility of parole" ? Even less sensible is saving a would-be suicide on death row's life prior to executing him !

why didnt they just sentence him to die?

It actually ends up costing tax payers more to execute a prisoner due to the additional avenues of appeal that open up.
