Penal Code sections 207 and 208 prescribe a prison sentence of one to 25 years for "simple" kidnaping. Section 208 establishes life imprisonment as punishment for kidnaping for the purpose of ransom or robbery and, if the victim suffers bodily harm, calls for a life sentence without possibility of parole. Section 190 imposes a life sentence for first degree murder but does not deprive the offender of parole.
