This study analyzes the policy of life imprisonment within the Indonesian legal system, particularly in premeditated murder cases. Life imprisonment is considered the primary alternative to the death penalty, aiming to provide a deterrent effect, protect society, and uphold human rights values. Using a normative juridical approach, this research explores the legal foundations, judicial considerations, and application of life imprisonment as outlined in the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP). A case study illustrates that the imposition of this penalty requires careful consideration of the elements of intent and premeditation. Judges play a key role in interpreting the objectives of sentencing to balance justice and the rights of the convict. The findings support life imprisonment as a proportional punishment, emphasizing the importance of consistency and discretion in its application.
