Here's where my mind goes, if the accused is found guilty of murder, then perhaps the sentence could be life in hard labor and the proceeds go to repay the state for prosecution/support while the remainder goes to victim's familia etc.

The only danger with "hard labor" is that the prisoner is intermingling with other prisoners and a serious possibility for injury other inmates or a prison guard certainly exists.
Such people have nothing to lose. It's a bit dangerous to properly supervise such individuals at hard labor. And, what hard labor could they do, inside a prison, that would be productive?? I certainly don't see the benefits of breaking rocks for the rest of eternity.
