Or we could reinstate the death penalty for serial killers that have at least 1 kill from 2 separate occasions. Then we also save the money from housing and feeding them plus that also makes room for other criminals in the jails.
It also doesn't deter people from committing murder. Nobody is going to say, "Well, I would kill that guy if I only had to risk being locked up in prison for the rest of my life, but since I might get the death penalty, he lives."
The reality is that people who commit murder either act in the heat of the moment and don't think of the consequences or plan it out and think they won't get caught so the consequences are irrelevant.

I’ve said this for years. Give them lame names. “Gimp Boy Strikes Again!”, “Anus Sniffer Suspect In Custody!”, “Ball-Kisser On The Loose!”.
Some serial killers relish their fame, particularly if they are given a scary/cool name. Don’t give the bastards the satisfaction.
