"ONE MILLION YEEEAAARS!! DUNGEON!" *jail door slams*
Lemongrab, Adventure Time

Shorty thought [the judge] hit us with 114 years, until I explained "concurrently." It meant a minimum sentence of 10 years hard labor at the Charlestown State Prison.
Malcolm X, Malcolm X

99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
—"Cocaine Blues", Johnny Cash

How do you do triple life? That means if he die, and come back, he gotta go to the penitentiary! "Fuck kindergarten, kid, you comin' with us..."

You'll do 50 years or my name ain't Sam Schultz!
Yosemite Sam, Looney Tunes, "Big House Bunny"

"I'm gonna put him in jail 'til he rots! — No, check that — I'm gonna put him in jail 'til the jail rots on top of him, then I'm gonna move him to a new jail and let that jail rot!"
Doc Hudson, Cars

"The imposition of multiple death penalties, far from being a useless formality, has practical importance. The sentencing of an accused to several capital penalties is an indelible badge of his extreme criminal perversity, which may not be accurately projected by the imposition of only one death sentence irrespective of the number of capital felonies for which he is liable."
G.R. No. L-28232 February 6, 1971 (Phillipines Supreme Court ruling concerning Maggie dela Rivera's rapists)

"I concur in the opinion of the court except as to the sentences of over 700 years. The court says, “No one could dispute that a sentence of almost 750 years is harsh.” No one would bother to characterize such a sentence as “harsh.” It is simply incapable of execution.
No known human being has the capacity to live 700 years. No living human being is likely to live 700 years. On its face, the sentence is impossible to execute."
US v. Major, No. 10-10478 (9th Cir. March 27, 2012), Judge Noonan's dissent

"One minute [community service]! That's not punishment, that's... Oh. Four hundred and fifty million counts."

Listen, I seen niggas hit with so much time, loc
They have to die and come back three times to see them white folks
Xzibit, "What a Mess"

Do you know, when [Truro Daine] came to trial, he was found guilty on 8,921 counts of first degree murder alone, excluding his various thermonuclear adventures. Before they gave up, the international courts found him culpable in enough instances to entail a mandatory sentence without remission that would take a significant chunk out of the lifespan of a continent. If he were able to live out his stretch, it is likely the human race would have evolved beyond all recognition by the time he was eligible for parole.
Vaclav Trefusis, The Night Mayor

"It's time to get serious, Stanley. No jokes, no games. Outside of this room, I might be more tolerant of those things, but now we're in the Room. Which is why I'm subjecting you to the most serious punishment I can think of — one hundred billion trillion years standing here in the Serious Room. Perhaps after that, we can talk about the severity of your actions, and whether you've learned anything."
The Narrator, The Stanley Parable

"The maximum sentence you face is nine thousand, three hundred, ninety-two years of cryo-prison. You will be put into suspended animation and injected with drugs which slow down your perception of time, so that you will be able to experience the entire duration of your sentence as if you were fully awake, without being able to age or move a single muscle. After your period of confinement, you will presumably die, from the shock of reanimation."
Veniczar Fontana to Kayto Shields, Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return

Ge Xiu is a nefarious star criminal. After being arrested, according to the Interstellar Supreme Law, he will face two choices: either serve a sentence of 1156 years in black prison or enter countless virtual worlds and become a miserable person who is tortured and abused all his life. How much he suffers is how much his sentence can be reduced. Ge Xiu chose the second one without hesitation.
Blurb for Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]
