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

Being kept in segregation doesn't mean the same thing as solitary confinement. I understand that prisoners who are in danger are kept segregated from the main population, but I doubt they are locked in solitary for 23 hours a day.
They are still given access to certain things to do (read, write letters, visitations, even TV). I read enough stories about prison life to know that they aren't locked in a box with nothing. If death was really preferable, then why don't more commit suicide?
I would bet segregation is even preferable than general population.
