I've been to jail once. I was in there for a little over a day and do NOT want to go back. This was just county jail too in the nicest block. It was far from a nice shelter. The food was a joke, I didn't even eat it. Even then I saw tons of fights and people just trying to fight you for no reason. We did have TV where I was, but like I said it was county and a nice block. However you don't choose what to watch. Nothing violent is shown and nothing with any type of sexual scenes lol. Toilets are in the open, showers are in the open, is that really a nice place to be?

People who get life in prison may want to live. Maybe they live off of hope. Maybe they DO regret what they have done. Maybe they want to see their kids grow up even if it's just a monthly visit. I don't think anyone with a life sentence should die. I think many would want to die though. That's not punishment.
