Reply to comment by crazyhadron in ELI5 - Why do criminals get sentenced to Life without Parole PLUS ten years for example? by sir_cas
All systems that I know of that have defined terms like 25 years, also have concepts for people that are still considered dangerous but its not part of the prison time because its not the punishment but to protect other people from that person. In german for example its called "Sicherheitsverwarung" which would translate to security detention.
