The longest jail sentence passed was in the United States - 10,000 years for a triple murder. Dudley Wayne Kyzer was jailed for 10,000 years by a court in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 1981 for murdering his wife. He was then sentenced to two life terms for murdering his mother-in-law and a college student.
Who else has gotten a Loonnngggg sentence? Can anyone top this?

I looked him up. He's a born-again Christain. This article is back from 04. Read if you want to know more about his case.
His supporters claim that Dudley Wayne Kyzer found God and is “tormented by guilt" for shooting three people to death nearly 30 years ago, but the state parole board on Monday slammed the doors on the convicted killer, denying him parole.
The victims’ families -- still haunted by the 1976 Tuscaloosa shootings on Halloween night -- and Tuscaloosa County District Attorney Tommy Smith pleaded with the parole board not to release Kyzer. Family members said he had threatened them.
Smith called Kyzer a “born killer" and made the startling revelation that, as a 15-year-old, Kyzer allegedly used a baseball bat to kill an 11-year-old friend. Smith also accused Kyzer of once beating his pregnant wife so severely, her unborn child was killed.
Still, Kyzer, sentenced to two life sentences to be served consecutively, plus 10,000 years for the bloody shootings, will be eligible for parole again in July 2009 -- just five years away.
The case has prompted Attorney General Troy King to call for an overhaul of parole eligibility laws.
Kyzer, 63, was convicted twice in the 1976 Tuscaloosa triple murders of his estranged wife, his mother-in-law and a 21-year-old University of Alabama senior who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Shot to death were Dianne Kyzer, 29, her mother, Eunice Barringer, 54, and college student Richard “Rick" Pyron of Birmingham.
Pyron was at the Barringer home on 13th Avenue East doing yard work at the request of his fraternity house mother, a friend of Barringer’s, his father, Charles “Mack" Pyron Jr. said.
“He was shot and killed by a stranger in cold blood," Pyron said.
Pyron described how his son had put himself through college by working summers and odd jobs.
“He was a good student and good citizen," Pyron said.
Joyce Pyron said her son had asked his parents for a nice suit for Christmas for his college graduation.
“He was buried in his real classy suit," she said. “He worked hard to have a good life, but he never got it."
The shootings occurred in the presence of Kyzer’s 6-year-old son, Kris, who ran from his dying mother to safety.
Kris Kyzer, nearly three decades later, is in prison himself, according to Smith and Department of Corrections records.
Smith said the elder Kyzer’s lengthy sentence resulting from his second trial in 1981 was an alternative to the death sentence a jury recommended in his first trial in 1977.
“I’ve said Dudley Wayne Kyzer is a born killer," said Smith, who helped prosecute Kyzer. “The jury sent a message: They don’t want him released."
Tuscaloosa County Circuit Judge Joseph Colquitt presided over Kyzer’s capital murder trial in 1977, and he sentenced Kyzer to die in the electric chair.
But the U.S. Supreme Court in 1980 overturned Alabama’s death penalty as unconstitutional, which resulted in a second murder trial for about 60 people on death row.
About a dozen friends and relatives attended the Monday hearing on Kyzer’s behalf. Speaking for him were two childhood friends, Joe Lake and William Fred Sherrill Jr., both from Tuscaloosa.
Lake, who became Kyzer’s minister, said Kyzer found God and is a changed person.
“Wayne is tormented by 22 years of guilt," said Lake. “He was saved.
“He has stressed remorse very much to me, and he is sorry this ever happened," Sherrill said. “He would give his life for their lives."
But Barringer’s brother, Arnold Mills, said Kyzer ignored legal warnings to stay away from his family. He broke into the Barringer home with a gun on Oct. 31, 1976.
“That night, Dudley Wayne succeeded in his threats," Mills said.
Smith has been challenging state law and an attorney general’s opinion that allows someone like Kyzer to be eligible for parole so soon after being sentenced. Kyzer has been eligible for parole eight times.
Smith said Kyzer shouldn’t have been eligible for parole, because he was to serve two consecutive life sentences.
But an attorney general’s opinion treats consecutive prison sentences as one, said deputy parole board director Cynthia Dillard. She said an inmate is eligible for parole in 10 years or when one-third of his or her sentence has been served, whichever is less.
In Kyzer’s case he was eligible for parole in 10 years.
Smith said the law should treat each sentence separately and not together.
“We never believed it possible he could be released," Mills said. “Please don’t give him a chance to let another nightmare come true."
who is his son

Dont worry, he'll be up for parole in a couple of ice ages! Johnny be nimble, Johnny be quick, Johnny jump over the candle stick. Oh silly boy, you should've jumped higher, goodness gracious, great balls of fire.
It's ridiculous "10,000 years" even needs to be said. Just say Life without possibility of parole..
You have to look at it in its proper context, he wasnt sentenced to "10,000" years, its probably just that all the multiple individual sentences for his various crimes added up to 10,000 years.
