What do it mean when somebody get 25yesrs to life
If you mean what costs more for the government, life in prison. A man in prison has to be provided shelter and food, whereas a dead man obviously does not.
Not necessarily. It all depends on the sentence the judge delivered. Sometimes "Life in prison' IS a lifetime spent in prison. Sometimes "life in prison" could mean for life but you might be allowed to be eligible for parole (if you keep your nose clean) after serving a minimum of 25 years. It all depends on the wording of the ruling.
The interpretation of a "life sentence" can vary by jurisdiction, but in general, it typically means the individual will spend a significant portion of their life in prison. Releasing individuals serving life sentences can provide opportunities for rehabilitation and redemption. Additionally, prison systems may struggle with overcrowding and limited resources, which can influence the decision to parole individuals serving life sentences.
In actual fact, having a life sentence may not actually have an affect on how many years you have in Jail. For instance, the "Milwaukee Cannibal", (Jeffery Dahmer, a psycho rapist serial killer) received 15 life sentences- About 1000 years. They did not expect him to live 1000 years, nor did he (He was killed in 1994 by a schizophrenic inmate) The Judge simply did not want him granted enough years off his sentence to escape, so they made it literally impossible to achieve it. So life sentence for duration of natural life means that until the prisoner is dead, they cannot be granted bail. (And after they are dead, they can plead for bail all they want.)
it means having natural rights and natural rights mean having property, life, and liberty
a 50 year sentence all the way up to life as in the time u spend in prison.
I believe it's a made up word by writer Steven King. However the Urban Dictionary claims the slang term Shawshank means, to be gang raped by bull queers without any lubrication. This slang term developed obviously because of the movie, The Shawshank Redemption.
Maine is a state. Do you mean cities?
Most likely. It depends on the case and where it is tried.

These 9000 days are the 9000 days Nelson Mandela spent in prison. He spent 9000 days in prison and a life time of serving his country and his people... regardless of the colour of their skin.
