Another life sentence will be meted to an inmate and his chance for a pardon is already nil.

Does anyone else find it interesting that someone serving a "life sentence" can get out on parole? I find that appalling.
The taxpayers would be subjected to paying for another trial and the if convicted he could have additional sentencing and be moved to a facility that houses only lifers. Solitary confinement is also something that could happen. However there seems to be little incentive for acceptable behavior in prison if you are serving a life sentence already.
I also find it amazing that people claim that we don't need firearms to protect ourselves because the police (government) can protect us when murders happen in environments completely under the control of the government.

They are also charged for that murder and that could either lead to a double sentence or death. Life in a lot of states is only 30 to 50 years if served with parole available. If they stay out of trouble they only have to serve half of that time. If some one commits the first murder at say 23 and they get 40 years, they are eligible with good time, for release in 20 years (43 yrs old)

Actually saw this on MSNBC the other day.
They are adjudicated and at least 1 life term without parole is added to their sentence. Yeah...I know...
Now if they murder a prison guard or prison employee then that prisoner is typically sentenced to death. Of course the typical automatic appeals process takes11 years before the execution is carried out.

If charged and convicted,He's sentence would be added to what he is already serving i would imagine.Unless of course he gets the death penalty then he would be put on death row.I know where your coming from though,What's to deter inmates from murdering one another when they know they are never going to get out prison anyway.It's a tricky one isn't it.

They will take away any chance he has of parole. Revoke his visiting rights for a certain period of time. And the inmate could quite possibly be in the Solitary Confinement Unit for months, even years.

Depends in which state the murder occurs. Off course there will be another trail. If convicted he could face the death penalty. Depending in which state the murder occurred. Here in ca. He will auto. Be placed in protective custody, Or isolation. If he is not already in a super max. facility he will be transferred to one automatically. Such as pelican bay. That's where they send the worst of the worst here. Either way someone will pay him back for his trouble.

A few less tax dollars going to inmate care and a few more hundred years tacked on to the murderer. Nice huh? :P

Hi! if the criminal was found guilty and a threat to other inmates, he could get additional sentences and is transferred to the solitary confinement.

In the perfect society, there would be one less prisoner our tax money pays for.
No, let's be serious...
They will go through another murder trial while they probably sit in isolation.
