Lifetime Imprisonment

Somehow I find such a sentence light nowadays especially in countries where the prison are so much better equipped than a poor house.

If people have such a hard time with the death penalty, why not go for instead maybe a lifetime hard labour in prison? Breaking rocks etc....

Or lifetime torture....whipped everyday or lifetime isolation.

Just that lifetime imprisonment seems just an easy way. Not to say its not a sweet deal. But I mean all that the prisoner would do is wake up, eat, recreational activities then sleep. Given that the prisoner has to also try to avoid the gang ass-rapes but thats not in the "offical" sentencing.

I think it's funny/weird that the government basically owns you if you commit a crime. The government can decide what to do with you. You have no choice to leave or quit the government.

The contract you made with the government, ie. to lose a few freedoms to gain security, cannot be revoked anymore and you are stuck with the government forever.
