Theory to Judicial Application of Life Imprisonment:From Perspective of First Case of Bai Enpei's Life Enforcement

终身监禁是介于死刑与无期徒刑之间一种刑罚执行措施,其适用应当以死刑、死缓、无期徒刑为前提。在终身监禁的性质考量层面,应当划清"终身监禁"与"终身监禁刑"的界限。对于发生在2015年11月1日之前的贪污受贿犯罪,如果依照旧法应当判处死刑,则应当以修改后的新法判处死缓附加终身监禁,如果依照旧法应当判处死缓的则适用旧法。在贪污受贿犯罪与其他罪名数罪并罚情形下,应当将其他罪作为终身监禁的裁判依据。在终身监禁判决作出后,交付执行前应当由高级人民法院复核。
