does life sentence 'just' mean that you get a criminal record for life? does it have have a bearing on jail term too?

A life sentence usually means that you'll get released on licence after a much shorter period.
However, you are only on licence, and so can be recalled if you show signs of further naughtiness. You always have the threat of recall hanging over you.
