They then have the choice to do the time for their crime, or to end their own lives. I am completely against the state making that decision for them. Prisoners who want to commit suicide shouldn't be stopped (nor should any person in my opinion). A prison under a Libertarian government would receive minimal support from the state, and would largely depend on revenue generated from the labour of the prisoners.
What you are describing is the american prison system.
It is slavery by the 'back door'
