And from a strictly non-spiritual view, being alive and locked up is a lot better than being dead. If being locked up was so terrible, near the same as death, why are there not more suicides in jail?

As if executing the murderer is the only form of justice? To paraphrase Joe: everyone has a different idea of justice.
Prison is not a nice place. There are murders, rapes and suicides among all sorts of other terrible things. Ask anyone who has been to prison how great it is.
