kidnapping was never allowed
Convicted inmates do not have a choice of their sentence. They must complete the sentence that is handed down by the courts.
That depends. Kidnapping is very important to law enforcement, the person kidnapped, and any people who might care that the person has been kidnapped or that a kidnapping took place. The person doing the kidnapping might not find it very important. Kidnapping, itself, is detestable and is a very major crime. And it only compounds with other crimes that are committed after the kidnapping. In the end, it's best not to kidnap anyone, period.
If a person is convicted of the most severe form, the minimum sentence is twenty-five years, but beyond that the length of the sentence will be determined by the judge who is presiding over the case. In order to be convicted of this form, a person must be shown to have premeditated the act, or to have committed it during the commission of some other crime.
After conviction, the defendant will receive a sentence.
