Perhaps life should mean life, a few 700 year terms with no parole (Like the yanks) are needed.

You know why they give those sentences because their appeals system has multiple layers, all of which can take time of, their parole system allows you to go before the panel after serving 20% of your sentence, like most things politicians are involved with they're designed to mostly make them look good, like they're tough on crime, scratching the surface reveals it's not as simple as that or as honest

Much like their health system why anyone would choose to follow their penal system is beyond me
