The fact that a decision to change the category of a lifer has not been made does not prevent the prisoner being moved. |
He has been called a basketball lifer not because he has spent his whole life in the game, but because the game is such a big part of life. |
One long-term lifer, a woman in fact, told me once that she never met a lifer in her time in prison who didn't approve of capital punishment. |
To reach the threshold of exceptional progress there would also need to be some extra element to show that the lifer had done good works for the benefit of others. |
Colorado pitchers put the Astros lifer over the top, delivering his last five plunks, three by Jason Jennings. |
At that time there was a lifer population of some 5200 prisoners, of whom over 3700 were mandatory lifers, in prisons in England and Wales. |
