It should be Life and then some, but, after a certain point, it cost way to much money, to medically keep them in jail.

Yes I think it should mean life.  I don't understand it when some prisoners get released after just 15 years when they have committed such awful crimes.  The lives of the victims' families are permanently devastated so why not lock them up until they die?
