Abstract

Seven years have passed since the reviewable life imprisonment became part of the sanctions envisaged in our penal system, and yet it still continues to be debated. This penalty constitutes the most serious legal consequence of all those provided for in the Criminal Code; therefore, the recent judgment confirming its constitutionality is not a minor issue, not because of the penalty itself, but because of the criminal policy that underlies it: the criminal law for the enemy.
