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?

No. The plus one day makes it technically impossible to parole. Paroles are only eligible on the exact date x years from conviction. If you have plus one day, your parole will never be available on x years plus one day. A technicality purposely built into the sentencing system to prevent the worst from ever being eligible for parole. SO is an attorney.
