25 years (if that's what it takes) of therapy to fully understand why he did it, how we can make life better for everyone so the next person doesn't feel this is their only option, and perhaps after a couple of decades of empathy he will realize why what he did was wrong and we can all move forward in peace and greater knowledge. Instead of primal vengeance that makes us feel better while learning nothing.
If we're going to spend the effort and money to incarcerate someone for that long, I don't see how turning it into intensive therapy instead is any more work -- and it's certainly more beneficial to society.
