He may make the warden's job easier. He may help prevent violent crime. He may convince crimnals to pay restitution. He is helping repair the damage done through murder, organized violence, and other terrorism.
If he had been executed, society would not have this resource in prisons. That is a reason against the death penalty. America responded in a healthy manner by removing him from society. The prison experience functioned to help convert a terrorist.
Time will tell if he has been converted to Judaism, Christianity or capitalism. If he is surrounded by God-worshippers, he will likely continue helping restitute victims. If he is surrounded by true Christians, he will likely also share the peace of Christ with the world. If he is surrounded by money-worshippers, he may exploit anything, including further terrorism. So, it is healthy that America has given him the rest of his life to prove his conversion.
