Not sure how it is in other countries, but I always assumed that a "life" sentence at least in the US just meant anything over 25 years
In civilised counties it means indefinite, 20 years minimum and after that reviewed every couple of years. In some countries 25 years is the maximum mandatory sentence you can get, the next level is life.
