Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
A life sentence is not impermissible “indefinite imprisonment” for purposes of Article I, Section 17 of the Florida Constitution. See Alvarez v.

Although no person can predict the maximum length of time which can be served by a prisoner under a sentence of life, this in itself does not render a life sentence impermissibly indefinite.”) (footnote omitted); Lopez v. State, 881 So. 2d 36 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004).

In re Forfeiture of Retirement Benefits of Eric Houston v. City of Tampa Firefighters & Police Officers' Pension Fund Bd. of Trs., 297 So. 3d 664 (Fla. 2d DCA 2020)…statute.

City of Miami Firefighters' & Police Officers' Ret. Tr., 885 So. 2d 892, 896 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004) (Cope, J., dissenting).
