If it wasn't so expensive (typically).
its a lot more expensive to jail him for 10 years, let alone for life. if in jail, the -blam!- gets food, a bed, and bums!
they still have life, escapes, and illegal smuggling.
It's been known that life in prison is less expensive than the death penalty unfortunately... Because of the long process and tons of time and money wasting appeals.
Though if the prisoner is given a life sentence in isolated containment I think that's worse than the death penalty. 23 hours locked in a cell with absolutely nothing I think, then an hour to roam a barren cement court (which isn't outside) and back to your cell for another 23 hours. No real interaction. It'd make someone go mad!
they still have their life, hope for escape, or illegal smuggled objects
Yes, they have their life and a lifelong sentence before them in such containment and no real hope for escape. These isolated cells are in maximum security prisons and the cells themselves are very well built. They are constantly inspected for any items and they make it extremely difficult for the prisoner to use any items in the cell.
I remember seeing a show on such prison sentences and they interviewed/got input from a cell mate who had a life sentence in isolation. He said he wished he had the death penalty and could die, that this sentence was worse and making him go mad and question his sanity, being in such containment.
