People with life sentences don't stay in little boxes for 23 hours a day. They get chores, counsiling, exercise, the chance at developing interpersonal relationships, books, educations... etc. It's still a life worth living for most people.

Don't get me wrong... it would suck to not have freedom and to face the hardships of prison life, but they would still have things to look forward to.
No offense, but are you familiar with the American prison system?

Such high profile inmates such as this terrorist don't live the average prisoner life. They will be killed if they are within the regular prison population.

The high profile mass murderers are most of the time destined for solitary confinement 23 hours a day. Either that or they live in fear each day of being killed by other prisoners.

There is nothing to look forward to in this situation. We're not talking about a Martha Stewart country club prison here.
