===Life imprisonment in Australia===
In Australia, [[life imprisonment]] is of indeterminate length. The sentencing judge usually sets a non-[[parole]] period after which the prisoner can apply for release under parole conditions. In the case of a criminal who has committed particularly heinous crimes, the sentencing judge may recommend that the person is "never to be released".
