If its worse to rot in prison than die, why does he want his life spared?

If he believes in God, perhaps he's concerned just a tad about "meeting his Maker." You know, that whole "answering for his sins" thingie.

Then again, maybe he thinks he can continue to do good work from his cell, kick back on the ole cot and put away all that good prison chow.
