So you believe every crime after the age of 25 should come with a life sentence?
Get in to a drunken fight at the bar on night... Life
Shoplift a pack of gum.... Life
WOW....

So it's actually like this:
You reach 25. You assault somebody. You serve time in prison. (now a questionable case) We decide to give you a second chance. You feel no need to follow the law, and you enjoy assaulting people, so you do it again. OK, at this point we know what kind of person you are. You didn't just make a bad decision one day. Simply letting you out into society is pretty much the same as assaulting a random person, because that is clearly what you are going to do.
