What about all the inmates convicted of murder that aren't on death row - they got life imprisonment. There is no set sentencing for murder. There are different degrees of murder. Some get death, others don't for the same crime/same degree of murder. It's a crapshoot.
The killers that received life are in the general prison population and are quite capable of murder (as they have proven). There are also killers in the general prison population who just haven't been caught for murder - they're in on another charge. And then you have the ones that are on the edge and just waiting to snap.
There is no way to get around this problem. Guards are trained to deal with violent offenders. Some states have built special unit prisons. It's where prisoners who are violent in prison are sent. It's not a nice place and they can end up there for life. They're kept completed isolated. Their behavior over time determines if they get out (of isolation) or not.
