Neither persons under the age of 18 at the time of their offence nor pregnant women can be sentenced to death. For those who were under 18 years old at the time of their offences, they would be indefinitely detained at the President's Pleasure (TPP), and the normal period of detention was between 10 and 20 years. There were reports of underaged offenders being detained under this practice from 1965 to 2008. These underaged inmates would be released after receiving clemency from the President of Singapore once they were assessed to be suitable for release. In 2010, the law was amended to allow judges to mete out life imprisonment on offenders who were convicted of capital offences but aged below 18 at the time of their crimes instead of subjecting them to indefinite imprisonment under the TPP. They would be required to serve a minimum of 20 years before they can be reviewed for possible release. As for women who were pregnant at the time of their sentencing, they would automatically be sentenced to life imprisonment upon their conviction of any capital offences, though there were no such cases occurring in the courts of Singapore.
