Presentation by PROVIDUS researcher I.Kronberga in the International Conference on the Issues of Life-term Prisoners in Yerevan, Armenia, November 20-22, 2012
Robert Gleason mató a otro reo mientras cumplía cadena perpetua para ser sentenciado a muerte en lugar de cadena perpetua. Rechazó la inyección letal y solicitó la silla eléctrica. Gleason tenía problemas mentales graves y una infancia difícil. Creía que si el estado no lo mataba, él seguiría matando personas.
Este documento presenta un resumen sobre la cadena perpetua. Define la cadena perpetua como una sentencia privativa de libertad de por vida por cometer un crimen grave. Explora brevemente la situación de la cadena perpetua en Colombia y casos reales en otros países como Egipto y Estados Unidos. Finalmente, enumera los pros y contras de la cadena perpetua.
La película Cadena Perpetua cuenta la historia de Andy Dufresne, quien es condenado injustamente a dos cadenas perpetuas por un doble asesinato. Durante sus 40 años en la prisión de Shawshank, Andy se hace amigo de Red y otros reclusos mientras mantiene su esperanza y dignidad. Gracias a su inteligencia, Andy gana privilegios y mejora las condiciones de la prisión, pero también planea secretamente escapar cavando un túnel. Al final, Andy logra escapar y empieza una nueva vida en México,
La película cuenta la historia de Andy Dufresne, un banquero condenado injustamente a cadena perpetua por un doble asesinato. En la prisión gana el respeto de los demás reclusos y trama un plan para demostrar su inocencia y escapar. Ganó varios premios Oscar incluyendo mejor película y mejor actor.
Este documento discute la viabilidad y conveniencia de la cadena perpetua en España. Explica que actualmente la pena máxima de prisión es de 40 años, pero que la cadena perpetua podría ser constitucional si permite la revisión de la condena. La mayoría de expertos se oponen a la cadena perpetua tradicional por ser indetermianda e inhumana, pero existe debate sobre si una cadena perpetua condicionada podría ser una opción viable. El Tribunal Constitucional ha dictaminado que la cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de revisión es inconstitucional
Antonio Buero Vallejo fue un dramaturgo español nacido en 1916 en Guadalajara. Pasó 7 años en prisión durante la guerra civil española por falsificar documentos para los republicanos. Fue durante su encarcelamiento que decidió dedicarse al teatro en lugar de la pintura. Algunas de sus obras más importantes incluyen Historia de una escalera e In la ardiente oscuridad. Recibió varios premios importantes como el Premio Lope de Vega en 1949 y el Premio Miguel de Cervantes en 1986.
The document discusses the death penalty and life imprisonment as forms of punishment. It notes that while the death penalty exists in some poor and rich countries, the number of executions has decreased over the years. Some key arguments made are that the death penalty is more expensive than life imprisonment, does not reduce crime more than life imprisonment, and risks punishing innocent people. The document concludes by expressing the view that a reviewable life sentence is preferable to the death penalty.

Law enforcement agencies have an obligation to communicate with the public about their operations to maintain transparency and public trust. They must balance this duty with safeguarding confidential information. Developing a media plan for high-profile operations can help provide sufficient information to minimize public disruption and speculation while presenting the agency's perspective. Without a media plan, there is a risk of inconsistent messages, media interference, and damage to investigations if information updates are delayed. When speaking to the media, agencies must consider whether discussions are on or off the record and follow principles of being fair, accurate, relevant and timely.
The document summarizes Latvia's efforts to prevent youth crime through multi-disciplinary cooperation and social inclusion programs. It describes several initiatives between 2011-2015 that focused on early prevention by assessing risks for children and families, developing activities to address needs, and promoting cooperation across institutions. Evaluation found these approaches helped reduce antisocial behavior by engaging communities, schools, families, and at-risk youth.

The document summarizes findings from a study on teaching history in Latvia. It notes that since 2013, Latvian and World History are taught as separate subjects according to national standards. However, teachers from minority schools say students want more world history taught to understand global events. Students also have trouble connecting historical events in Latvia to world history. The document recommends raising awareness of cultural diversity, maintaining knowledge of world history and cultures, and encouraging cooperation between stakeholders to improve history teaching.
This document discusses factors that contribute to effective anti-corruption agencies (ACAs). It identifies five key conditions for an ACA to be effective: having political will and autonomy; a clear mandate to investigate, prevent, and educate; sufficient powers and safeguards; strong internal capacity; and support from other government and non-government entities. Effective ACAs earn public trust through high-profile convictions, complaint intake, and public opinion surveys. While structural changes may not address internal issues, analyzing an ACA's strengths and weaknesses can help identify gaps other organizations could fill to support the ACA's work.

Early release phenomenon vs. life imprisonment in Latvia and beyond
1. Early release phenomenon
vs. life imprisonment in
Latvia and beyond
Ilona Kronberga,
Centre for Public Policy PROVIDUS
2. Why the life-sentenced
persons should be applied
for early release?
• Release is a motivation for involvement
in resocialization activities;
• Often early release for the life-convicted
persons is the only thing that could be
lost yet (especially when family and
friends have turned away from them);
• Many life-sentenced inmates are quite
young people, for example, in Latvia the
average age is about 38 years;
• The number of life-sentenced inmates in
all countries growing very quickly.
3. A number of life-sentenced inmates over the
years in Latvia
4. European countries which have
abolished an indefinite
imprisonment
A number of European countries have
abolished all forms of indefinite
imprisonment, including
Serbia, Croatia, and Spain which set the
maximum sentence at 40 years, Bosnia
and Herzegovina which sets the maximum
sentence at 45 years, and Portugal, which
sets the maximum sentence at 25 years;
Norway has abolished life imprisonment
but retains other forms of indefinite
imprisonment.
5. The fundamental aspects of
life imprisonment:
• life imprisonment is a possible
sentence, there may also be formal
mechanisms to request parole after a
certain period of imprisonment;
• The length of time and the modalities
surrounding early release vary greatly for
each country. In some places, convicts are
entitled to apply for parole relatively
early, in others - only after several
decades;
• all countries that have abolished the life
imprisonment is a very long fixed prison
terms;
• the early release issues of the life-
sentenced persons in the coming years will
be particularly iimportant.
6. The Life imprisonment in UK
An indeterminate sentence
Imprisonment for public
Mandatory life sentences Discretionary life
protection (IPP) - is aged
- Imprisonment for Life sentences -
18 or over; is convicted
(over 21), Detention Imprisonment for Life
of a serious specified
during Her Majesty's (over 21), Detention for
violent or sexual offence
Pleasure (,10 or over but Life (,10 or over but
and who in the court's
under 18 ), Custody for under 18 ), Custody for
opinion, poses a
Life (18 or over but Life (18 or over but
significant risk of harm to
under 21) under 21)
the public
7. The Life imprisonment in UK
Unlike a prisoner with a determinate
sentence who must be released at the
end of their sentence, those
sentenced to life imprisonment or
Imprisonment for Public Protection
(IPP), collectively called indeterminate
sentenced prisoner(s) (ISP), have no
automatic right to be released.
Instead, such prisoners must serve a
minimum period of imprisonment. This
punitive period is announced by the
trial judge in open court and is known
commonly as the “tariff” period.
8. The life-sentence in the
near future ...
• Individualized application of the penalty -
differentiated part of the minimum term;
• individual risk and need assessment
system throughout the penal execution
time;
• in the individual risk and need
assessment results based early release
system;
• intensive supervision of the early
released persons in society, which will be
done by probation professionals
• Quick system for returning to prison of
life-sentenced persons.
