I agree with this 100% in principle but I can't see it working in practice. Prisons would actively encourage suicide by abusing prisoners.

Assisted suicide is a can of worms.

Pretty sure  there would be some ethical objections to the scenario you describe., at least in Oz. So far, my country is not sufficiently mature to allow the assisted suicide of the pain-ridden, terminally ill. No sure how they would respond to the terminally evil.

I'd also argue that there is hope for the person so guilt ridden as to believe he /she is undeserving of life. My perception is that truly evil people rarely see themselves as evil.
