What is the longest prison sentence that has been served and completed?
One of my favorite movies is The Shawshank Redemption. The character "Brooks" served 50+ years and was released after completing his sentence. I’m wondering if there have ever been records of people outliving/completing 60, 70 or 80+ year sentences and released?
Here’s 2:
Jouanna Thiec
Imprisoned at the age of 16, in 1685. Released at 89, in 1758.
Her crime: being a Calvinist in France after Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes.
Her entire imprisonment was spent in a single stone cell, 18′x40′, originally shared with over 30 other women, all of whom died there.
Richard Honeck Sent to prison at 19 in Illinois for murder in 1899 and paroled at 85.

On December 20, 1963, at 1:11 P.M., Richard Honeck, an 84 year old inmate of the Menard Branch of the Illinois State Penitentiary, after 64 consecutive years of immurement, walked through the big double gates to his first breath of freedom in the 20th century.
