I would be for that... the problem here is that most judges would rather the criminals had cable TV and ping pong tables and weight sets and libraries and movie night and similar luxuries.
when you are sentenced life in prison, you should be placed in an 8x8 white room with concrete walls, floor, and ceiling, no window.
your first day on the grounds you will dig a hole using a regular garden shovel.
the hole will measure 7 feet long by 3 feet wide by 6feet deep.
you are allowed 30 minutes per day in a 20x20 exercise room which is equipped with a treadmill.
your food will be your choice of white or wheat bread, a single serving of vegetable, and a single serving of "mystery meat" served with room temp water.
you are allowed to bring 5 books for entertainment ... make them good ones.
your cell will be equipped with a single cotton sheet and a seat with a small hole for defication.
your only chore will be to clean out the sewage trap beneath this hole once per week equipped with rubber gloves, a single sponge and a regular garden hose.
when you die of old age, you will be placed into a pine box and thrown into the hole you dug on day one
