Life without parole for heinous criminals should include the separation from the general population of criminals since the latter are still considered members of society.

These are the underlying criteria, which result in a complete and irreversible separation from society. It is in many ways a virtual death. To me it seems like a fate worse than death, yet fair and resolute in all cases of Heinous Crime as I have defined Heinous Crime.

"I am starting by redefining heinous crime: A heinous crime is so because it is unquestionably so odious and cruel or malicious in nature as to be irreconcilable."

Loss of liberty. They are no longer at liberty to engage other members of society. By the nature of the crime, they have separated themselves from society and all privileges and benefits otherwise available to members of society.

Protection for members of society. Members of society must be protected from any engagement or impacts from Heinous Criminals. The state has an obligation to block heinous criminals from such engagement.

Humane treatment: Humane treatment is considered according to the context of specific treatment(s). And there must be some positive obligation to provide treatment of any sort. Rehabilitation is no longer a consideration nor is providing societal privileges and benefits. Humane treatment in this case involves a prohibition against ill treatment such as: Torture, Cruelty, Degrading treatment, physical punishment, medical or scientific experimentation, hardship or constraint other than that resulting from loss of liberty and except those unavoidable due to being placed in a closed environment or resulting from their separation from society.
