Why don't people sentenced to LIFE in prison kill themselves?

I doubt it is a religious reason. Who wants to go through the Hell of prison for the rest of your natural life when you could just end the suffering and be done with it?

Appeals courts tend to decide that life doesn’t mean life, even if it is Life Without Possibility of Parole (LWOPP).

Some of those people are right at home in prison.

All life is just a box bro. Life is what you make of it.

Suicide is illegal

Hell is in fact worse, but Jesus will forgive even murder and worse.

If they were that scared of a life in prison, then they wouldn’t have committed the crime in the first place.

Trying to stay alive is the most primal instinct we all share.

Plus, in probably more cases than you think, prison is better than life before it.

They are going to hell anyway.

I know someone who was doing life without parole.
Small town, lady got murdered, he had been in the area. This was back before DNA and all that. Cops sweated a confession out of him. He was railroaded, imo.
The guy whose wife was killed showed up to the trial with his girlfriend. Was kin to the DA.
He had just been married and had an unborn daughter on the way. She grew up with her daddy in Angola. Through 15 minute phone calls and visitation days he raised her. Did a better job than a lot of free men.
Good behavior, trustee for a long time, respected and trusted. Basically allowed to go do whatever work they needed without being hassled, essentially free in Angola. A real artisan.
After almost 40 years he received a unanimous pardon. Finally able to leave that hellhole and try to get back some of the life it cost him.
He had a twin brother who was wheelchair bound. No legs. Hadn't seen him since he'd gone in. He died a not long before his brother finally was released.
So I can understand why people inside hold out hope. You've got to keep living and trying.

Maybe the thought that eternal life in hell gives them pause.

Because they don’t want to be dead? What kind of question is this
