I just heard on the TV that someone got life in prison plus 47 years. I never understood this. Life in prison is life in prison so what does this mean when they get additional time on top of life in prison?

In some countries, life in prison can be only 20 years Max. While sure, this doesn’t make sense, given you’d assume life in prison is life in prison, some countries have different definitions of this.
So say you’re given life in a country where life is 20 years, and gets an additional 47 years, that’s 67 years.
