I think this belongs in this sub-forum...
Anyway, just been watching an episode of Forensic Detectives in which one of the murderers was sentenced to 'Life plus ten years'.
I presume this doesn't mean they stay in jail until they die and are then kept in the jail (on display as an awful warning?) for ten years. And that 'life' means a (large) number of years (allowing for good behaviour etc), after which the convict serves another ten years?
Also, I suppose such a sentence rules out early release on parole?
ETA: Er, mods, could you swap the 'w' in the thread title for an 'e'? Thanks.
