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?

Generally, a life sentence (25-40 years) can end early with good behavior or you are paroled. The additional time is to make sure you stay in prison even if you are let out of your “life” sentence for good behavior, parole, etc.
