    I’ll admit I wasn’t aware of the function they played, not from the states.

    The sentences when someone gets a sentence for 100’s, or 1000’s of years, do they have the same function?

    What’s the longest term someone has been given for a single crime, I suspect it is still in the ridiculous range.

      Basically the judge saying that no matter how much time credit your get for good behaviour while in prison you’re still intended to spend the rest of your life there.
