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.)

It implies that there is no possibility of parole or early release. This sentence is typically reserved for the most serious crimes.
