6. Avoiding Ambiguity

• Some jurisdictions calculate "life imprisonment" differently (e.g., 25 years in some places). A high fixed term avoids misinterpretation and ensures the offender remains in prison for an intended duration.

7. Human Rights Considerations

• In certain countries, assigning excessively high numbers may circumvent prohibitions against sentences like "life without parole" by structuring them in terms of fixed years.

In practice, high-year sentences often function the same as life imprisonment, but the precision allows flexibility for legal, administrative, and societal purposes.
