Best Answer

When a person is incarcerated for a number of years easily exceeding their life expectancy (for example, sentenced to 500 years in prison), this typically meant that the person was convicted of many crimes, but none of those crimes were extreme enough to warrant life in prison or the death penalty, thus compounding the amount of years he/she must spend in prison. While being incarcerated for say, 500 years is effectively life in prison, the sentence is just part of legal proceedings.
