It depends where...

Canada: A life sentence means LIFE in prison! It is a missconception that in Canada it is 20 or 25 years. You can apply for parole at 25 years depending on what your charged with (ex First Degree Murder is a life sentence with possability of parole at 25 years)

USA: Depends on the State
