Life sentences for child abuse

A court in Pyrgos, in the Peloponnese, on Wednesday convicted and handed heavy sentences to a couple accused of sexually abusing three of their four children.

The father was given a 123-year prison sentence while his spouse was handed a 103-year prison term. Both were expected to serve a maximum of 25 years behind bars.

Wonder how many years they'll actually serve.

I suspect not long enough, which makes a stupidity of giving the long sentences in the first place.
