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?

Some states have life without the possibility of parole. But even in those states it makes sense to tack on the extra time if applicable in case the life sentence is reversed on appeal or as the result of PCR.
