Why does the US give such long prison sentences, such as 200 years, when no one can live that long?
I see. But what about the cost of keeping someone in prison for that long? Wouldn't it be too expensive for taxpayers?
Yes, keeping someone in prison for a long time can be expensive. However, the cost of keeping someone in prison is also determined by several factors such as the type of facility they are in, the number of resources required to house and feed them, and the medical care they require. So it is difficult to provide a straightforward answer to that question.
