How to maintain a closed environment for one person for a long period of time

+0
−0

Background: In the early 2020s a magical life-extending "elixir" is created but is in short supply. However, a very reckless individual steals most of the US's supply and drinks a sufficient amount of it to extend their life by 8000 years. It is decided that this individual must be quarantined to avoid any possible further damage or annoyance to the US or world.

Five criteria are identified by the committee put in charge of isolating this individual from the outside world.

1) No possibility of the individual's escape from quarantine

2) No contact between the outside world and this individual allowed

3) Location must be over 1AU away(in order to minimize chance of being located and visited in the future)

4) Individual must be held with lifesupport humanely for the period of their natural life(i.e. 8000 years)

5) Must be achievable with current or as-soon-as-possible technology(to remove this individual ASAP)

EDIT: As an alternative, the committee also considers painless death of the individual, as long as it does not constitute cruel or unusual punishment.

So, the big question: can any such solutions be found with present or very-near-future technology?

Any and all answers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time.
