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 addition to what has already been stated, there are ways to reduce sentences in US prisons such as credits for good behavior or participating and completing programs offered by the prison. Stacking sentences often makes it impossible for the convict to be able to complete enough programs or gain enough credit to get out early.
