If someone is serving both a life sentence and a 20-year sentence in state prison, they would typically serve the longer sentence first. Once the 20-year sentence is completed, they would then begin serving the life sentence. It's important to note that the actual time served can vary based on factors like good behavior, parole eligibility, and potential sentence reductions.

No, but if the other state wants him back to be tried then he can be extradited back. The other reason is if he dies after sentencing in that state, he can send the body back for burial etc. ADDED: I disagree with the previous answer. A prisoner can be extradited from "State A", in order to be tried, convicted and sentenced for a crime he comitted in "State B."the extraditing state.

Upon his release from State A's prison (if ever) he is transported to State B to begin serving his liefe sentence.
