it'd be a nicely balancing thought, but we all know it won't happen, because it would be a terrible breach of his human rights. And as for rotting,that's not happening either. Should he so much as get athlete's foot, or a toothache, he won't have to travel for a nurse, doctor or dentist (or worry about finding/affording one), that's part of his rights as a prisoner too. And I'm guessing that with habits like playing around with life and death he'll be on suicide watch with psychiatric assessments and counselling all round, so a rotting corpse is unlikely too. He'll probably get offered the opportunity to take up some sort of training and education course or courses to help him improve his chances of getting a job once he's out of prison though, which will make him less inclined to repeat his crimes, apparently. We can all sleep safer in our beds knowing that.
