What's the point of sentencing someone to 7000 years in prison?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33154points) February 13th, 2020

I was reading about a guy in Florida who, if convicted of all the child porn and molestation counts against him, will be sentenced to 7000 years in prison.

What’s the point of that? The guy, who is 50 or so, isn’t going to live more than another 30–40 years, if that.

It seems like a sentence of 7000 years is just nutty. Who will be alive in the year 9020 to release him, even if he still alive?
