I hear the first 120 years are the hardest.

...Dennis Rader was ordered to serve 10 consecutive life terms.

Can someone explain what a "life term" is in the justice system? I thought it was 40 years, but??? Also, what is the point of 10 consecutive terms; how does that equate to real time? I guess the idea is that if one conviction for one victim is overturned, he would still have 9 other convictions and he's have to serve, it that it?
