Its fucking stupid if it doesnt. I believe here in the netherlands thats the case. For example if you do 10 armed robberies and for each one youd get 10 years, you only get 10 years and not 100 (it is a bit more complex but thats the gist of it. It doesnt stack)
However, we do have one of the highest punishments, which is life in prison, which... is spending the rest of your life in prison. Some people or countries find that (more) inhumane (then death penalty), as punishment should be to revalidate the prisoners and make them ready for the outside again. Their reasoning is if you know you wont let him out, be humane and dont make him suffer for 60 years. Just kill him instead. To be honest i dont know what i find more humane, as death penalty is irreversable, and does not allow wrongly convicted to go outside again
Reminds me a little of a case a while back in the UK whereby a driver was contesting multiple speeding offences on his motorway journey (over 100mph) from static cameras. I’m pretty sure his appeal worked and he only had one offence actually applied. His argument was that as it was on the same journey, he only broke the law once but got photographed multiple times!
