Well I would evaluate it for myself. Lots of people who live meaningless lives with say that their lives have meaning. I think it's unlikely that convicted rapists are going to suddenly become contributing members of a society that they both resent and are no longer a part of. It doesn't mean that I'm against life sentences though, we just need to be realistic about what we are actually doing when we lock someone away for life, and not feel that this is somehow a morally superior choice to the death penalty.
