If they’re in prison for an offense that truly justifies it, then they’re the in state’s custody, not yours.

If my child killed their sibling with intent and not some tragic accident they’d be dead to me too.

They’re definitely in the state’s custody, though depending on where they are and whether they have anyone paying attention to what happens to them, that can mean abominable “care.” Again, I wouldn’t judge anyone for turning their back on the person who killed their child, but I think that I would feel an obligation to try to make sure my child wasn’t beaten or starved in prison.
