My understanding is that they'll generally keep you if the experts have good reason to believe you're still a threat to other people, otherwise you get pardoned at some point.

There aren't very many of these sentences, I think you can find the complete list here in the Danish article on Wikipedia:

https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livsvarigt_f%C3%A6ngsel

About 50 since 1971.
