If a person was sentenced the death penalty with suspended execution,then he may survive on condition that he behaviour well and can comply with the regulations of the prison during the probational period.If he behaviour very well,the penalty that he bear can be reduced.At the maximum reduction, he must stay in jail at least fourteen years.On the other hand,if he didn't obey the rule of the prison or had other offences,he may stay in jail during his remaining life.
