The tariff is the minimum served of a life sentance
Add that to the fact he'll be on licence for the rest of his life, unable to travel abroad and a minor offence(breach of licence) could result in him returning to prison for the remainder of his life sentence.
I couldn't care less if a prisoner does or doesn't serve his/her full sentence, I'm against prisoners having no incentives to behave, this is, imho, a danger to prison officers and staff in general.
