Life imprisonment in Poland (Polish: Kara dożywotniego pozbawienia wolności) has an indeterminate length.
It can be imposed for treason, the assassination of the Polish president, war of aggression, genocide, crimes against humanity, unlawful use of a weapon of mass destruction, war crimes, murder, homicide and serious bodily harm resulting in death.
The President of Poland has the power to end the prisoner's life sentence by granting clemency at any time; however, this has never happened.
If no changes in law are made, prisoners serving life imprisonment will first become eligible for parole in 2020.
For a person who was under the age of 18 at the time of any offense where the maximum penalty is life imprisonment, the maximum penalty is a term of 25 years' imprisonment, with eligibility for parole after a term of 15 years has been served.
