In the end that's probably because it's a tradition, things were different in the past, and "life in jail" meant exactly that.
We have a similiar thing here in Finland too, a lifetime usually means some 10-15 years, after which the president usually uses his/her power to "absolve" the convict.
There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.
