If a "life" sentence IS imposed then it should be in a prison without any comforts or privileges, otherwise where is the penalty for committing the ultimate crime?

I agree that prisons are probably way too comfy. And I don't care what happens to people on the inside at the hands of other cons ect. But maybe they should look at improving the law, longer sentences, also the prisons, tougher regimes, longer hours lock away, make it basic, real hard time. Also they could have better rehabilitation programmes, and if some are failing, kick them off it and give the ones who want to do it a chance. I just don't think we should jump straight to the death penalty.
