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?

I am not a lawyer, but according to [this site](https://recordinglaw.com/how-long-is-a-life-sentence/), life in prison depends on the state in the U.S., and varies between 2 and 99 years (or the actual life of the prisoner).
