:- How does sentencing someone to consecutive life sentences work?

196 views

I’ve heard accounts of prisoners being sentenced to consecutive life sentences. Regardless of the number of life sentences, the person will still be serving for the one life they’ve got, right?. Are there different legal implications behind multiple sentences?

In most states a “life” sentence isn’t actually the rest of your life, its a set amount of time like 30 years. You could be eligible for parol in ~18yrs. Even “life without parole” would just be the full 30.
