printer friendly version
Question: How long is a Life Sentence?
Answer: A life sentence lasts for the rest of that person's natural life. This means that if the person is convicted and sentenced at 30 years old, he will remain in prison until he dies, which could be 50 or more years. If a person is convicted at age 60 and receives a life sentence, he will remain in prison until his death which could be only 10 or 20 years.

I do not understand, how can someone have double life sentences, if one life sentence already means for the rest of your life.
