Is life in prison 25 years then getting out after that time is serverd?

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.


Should a life sentence really mean prison for life and why?

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.


What does Life for the duration of natural life mean in the terms of a prison sentence?

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.)
