Life....In Canada a life sentence is a LIFE sentence! The Criminal Code specifically states that! Most people however are ignorant and think it is 25 years. The 25 years is just when an inmate can apply for parole (depending on which level of murder)
It has no effect on a 25 to life sentence for murder 2 in NY. Jenna's Law set determinate sentences for violent offenses of B class and lower offenses. Murder 2 is an A class offense.

In general, a federal life sentence is from 25 years in length to the actual entire life of the criminal. A life sentence without the possibility of parole is actually the entire natural life of the criminal.
