Reclusión perpetua

Reclusión perpetua (Spanish, from Latin: reclusio perpetua, lit.'permanent imprisonment') is a type of sentence of imprisonment in the Philippines, Argentina, and several other Spanish-speaking countries.

In the Philippines, it is one of two severe penalties, the other being life imprisonment, implemented to replace the death penalty and is in legal parlance near-synonymous with life imprisonment. However, there are some important distinctions between the two terms:

Reclusión perpetua is the penalty handed down to inmates convicted of a capital crime (in which case they will be ineligible for parole) as well as what the Republic Act 7659 designates as "heinous crimes" once punishable by death:

The Supreme Court of the Philippines has ruled that the Expanded Good Conduct Time Allowance (GCTA) Law also allows heinous crimes convicts (i.e., those sentenced to reclusión perpetua) to avail for good conduct time credit for early release.
