The title of this post is manifestly wrong. Being locked up for an indefinite period is not the same as being locked up for life since he can be released at any time. But having said that, being locked up "at His Majesty's pleasure" as this is called is s scary sentence, since you can indeed end up in prison for you whole life if you do not have the support of the relevant doctors. The conspiracy theorists here should remember he was convicted by a jury and can appeal his sentence like anyone else. If that's insufficient come up with a better system.
