I think offering humane suicide to (proper) life sentence inmates is kinder than forcing them to choose between (potentially) a life which is continually miserable and killing themselves in an improvised fashion.
I would suggest the option not to be available for a certain amount of time after the sentence starts, because you're not likely to be in your right mind after receiving such crushing news. But after (carefully chosen length of time), if an independent agent agrees that the person really wants suicide, is in as sound mental state as they are ever likely to be, and isn't being coerced (the hardest bit) then they are allowed the release of death.
To keep me alive in prison would be tantamount to torturing me. I'd end up probably repeatedly trying to kill myself, and quite likely failing.
