What constitutes "life in prison"?
Benjamin Schreiber was sentenced to life in prison without parole for beating a man to death back in 1996. In 2015 Schreiber had a medical emergency from a kidney stone where he died on the operating table & was brought back to life. Schreiber is now claiming that he should be released from prison because he served his life sentence by temporarily dying. Actually, he was revived 5 times. The courts are refusing to release him from jail.
Since this is a new twist as to what constitutes a life sentence, I’d like to hear your thoughts on this subject.

It means you don’t get out unless it is to bury you.
If they “brought him back to life” it means he wasn’t dead in the first place. Otherwise it’s a figure of speech.
The only person anybody is aware of really who came back from the dead is Jesus. And not everybody believes that either.
If a Buddha kills people does he get multiple lives in prison.
I was under the belief that life was 99 years.
^ Me too. I guess it’s worth a try. The answer is always no until you ask. At that point you’ve got a 50/50 chance of getting a yes
Many life sentences end in release after thirty years, for parole.
To prevent release before death they can sentence life without parole, or with multiple offenses, they can be given multiple life sentences, which pushes the serve time out too far for parole to be considered.
It used to be that a sentence would read life + (one, ten, or more years) to make release impossible.
In some states, a prisoner can be paroled after serving as little as 15 years of a life sentence.
Judges will sometimes sentence someone to “consecutive life sentences” so that the prisoner cannot be paroled until serving the minimum for each sentence.
It completely depends upon the law of jurisdiction in which the defendant was tried and sentenced.
Search me. I’ve heard of people getting 3 consecutive life sentences, 199 years, all kinds of weird shit. I mean who is this guy, freaking Rip Van Winkle?
Why don’t the prisons save us some money. If they die on the operating tabled, don’t revive them., let them go
