Life in jail is cheaper than the DP's process with all appeals, death row security etc. Also awaiting a natural (slower, more decrepit, more meaningless and insignificant) passing is more punishment than a quick end. Even more so for a rock-star fool like Manson.

I used to be pro death penalty but now they just need to sit and rot. With the caveat that now backwards legislation can ever get them out.
