I heard some where that someone is serving nine life sentences in prison...anyone know what that means? Wouldn't a simple life do the job? What does it mean to have more than one life sentence?

More often than not, a life sentence is given to a severe crime or heinous at that - murder, kidnapping with murder, rape with murder - and the number of victims is equivalent to one life sentence. So if it's 9 life sentences, its either the crime was so severe or the person murdered 9 people.

It means that they are not getting out of jail anytime soon.
They give more than one life sentence to assure that it really is a life sentence. If he gets paroled on one then he has to start serving the next. I guess they figured that this guy REALLY needed to be in jail.

regrettably, the posts the following characterize maximum folk of persons who make hiring judgements. I have in no way served time, yet my brother did, and he truly had to interrupt the regulation to get a job through agreeing to be employed less than the table for much less pay and advantages. Now, to me it type of feels his organization became taking benefit. anybody makes blunders, and that all of them do not get stuck. The penitentiary/penitentiary equipment is meant to enable those who make blunders to be rehabilitated, yet then with a criminal whats the point of having an preparation in penitentiary if no individual will employ you in a while. i do not believe this custom. To me it in ordinary words is smart that someone who's given an chance to improve their existence would artwork extra not ordinary at proving they were truthfully properly truthfully worth the probability. per chance, you should use your journey to gasoline a interest, make it your reason. per chance volunteer with an corporation that works with persons who've shared your journey, per chance it is going to become a job when you're good at it.

Means that they are not going to get out even with good behavior.
Yes, life without parole would make more sense if they would stick to it.
