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.

Can a judge sentence a extradidted prisoner to life in prison for murder and then send him back to the previous state?

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. He CAN be sentenced to life in prison in State B, but he is then returned to State A to finish serving out his sentence there. Upon his release from State A's prison (if ever) he is transported to State B to begin serving his liefe sentence.

You could serve 0 if your sentence is commuted or you are pardoned (and you accept) or you could serve to the max of 15 years. Commit further crimes while in prison and you could serve even longer. Most will probably serve less than the full 15 due to time off for good behavior or parole.
