Significant increases have been seen in the number and proportion of older persons in prison across Europe1 and in Japan, Singapore, the US, and Canada in recent decades.2 The cause of this
increase varies across countries. In some places, it is reported that more older people are being convicted of offences committed when they were younger,3 and in others some older people have turned to crime due to poverty and isolation.4 For the most part, however, it is due to the hardening of sentencing practices and increased use of imprisonment, which has coincided with reduced mechanisms for early release in some countries. Life imprisonment is being used more often for less serious and non-violent offences, and mandatory sentencing laws have contributed to longer prison terms and the increased use of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.  98869aIDOSO  95106aPRISÃO  95420aENVELHECIMENTO  95033aTERCEIRA IDADE  9103071aGERIATRIA  9420646a343.8  910937aPENAL REFORM INTERNATIONAL  40709423453aASSOCIATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF TORTURE   aPTgRPC  j343.8PRI  104343_000000000000000_8PRI52025-01-29698819480759aDGRSPcDGRSPfDGRSP9882k343.8PRIn2025-01-29o0rMOxOferta
