Well that has not been decided yet. He as a court appearance on September, 2011 where it will be decided whether he is competent to stand trial in federal court.

What will be interesting is if Arizona can make a case for concurrent jurisdiction. It might be possible to Loughner to be considered competent to stand trial in state court. That would be interesting.

In any case, don't think that because he will rot in a mental institution that he will have an easy life.
