In judicial practice, back-to-back life sentences are two or more consecutive life sentences given to a felon. This penalty is typically used to minimize the chance of the felon being released from prison. Other countries either allow multiple concurrent life sentences which can be served at the same time (e.g. Russia), or allow multiple consecutive life sentences with a single minimum term (e.g. Australia), thus allowing earlier release of the prisoner.

| - In judicial practice, back-to-back life sentences are two or more consecutive life sentences given to a felon. This penalty is typically used to minimize the chance of the felon being released from prison. This is a common punishment for a defendant convicted of multiple murder in the United States. Depending on the jurisdiction in which the case is tried, a defendant receiving a life sentence may become eligible for parole after serving a minimum length of time, on the order of 15-25 years. If a back-to-back penalty is imposed, the defendant must serve that minimum for every life sentence before parole can be granted. Such a penalty also ensures that even if some of the murder convictions are overturned on appeal, the defendant must still serve the sentences for the ones left standing. Other countries either allow multiple concurrent life sentences which can be served at the same time (e.g. Russia), or allow multiple consecutive life sentences with a single minimum term (e.g. Australia), thus allowing earlier release of the prisoner. In Canada, since 2 December 2011, it is possible for multiple maximum terms of parole ineligibility to be imposed for multiple first-degree murders. The mandatory penalty for first-degree murder being life imprisonment with 25 years' ineligibility for parole, the court may stack multiple 25-year terms to account for multiple victims. Before doing this, the judge must consider a jury recommendation to this effect. The longest minimum sentence so far is 75 years, handed out to four offenders: Justin Bourque (later reduced to 25 years), John Paul Ostamas, Douglas Garland and Derek Saretzky. The provision permitting this was ruled unconstitutional by the Quebec Superior Court and Quebec Court of Appeal in the case of Alexandre Bissonnette; and the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the Crown's appeal in May 2022, finding consecutive life sentences to be unconstitutional.

- Dalam praktik yudisial, penjara seumur hidup ganda adalah hukuman dua kali penjara seumur hidup atau lebih yang dijatuhkan kepada seorang terpidana. Hukuman ini biasa dipakai agar terpidana tidak mungkin bebas dari penjara. Ini adalah hukuman yang lazim pada kasus pembunuhan ganda di Amerika Serikat. Hukuman ini bersifat efektif karena si terdakwa mampu mengajukan pembebasan bersyarat setelah 25 tahun jika layak, lalu menjalani hukuman tambahan selama 25 tahun di penjara sebelum mengajukan pembebasan bersyarat untuk kedua kalinya. Hukuman ini juga menjadi semacam jaminan bahwa terdakwa harus menjalani satu hukuman penjara seumur hidup penuh jika salah satu tuduhan pembunuhannya dibatalkan melalui putusan banding. Negara-negara lain memiliki peraturan penjara seumur hidup ganda yang bisa dijalani pada saat bersamaan (misal: Kanada) atau penjara seumur hidup ganda berturut-turut dengan masa kurungan minimal (misal: Australia), sehingga tahanan bisa bebas lebih awal.
