Correct Answer: been put in


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The original sentence contains an error in verb tense and form. The correct form of the past participle "put" is "been put" when used in the passive voice. Additionally, "behind prison" is not idiomatic; the correct phrase is "in prison." Therefore, the corrected sentence uses the past participle " been put " and the preposition "in" to accurately convey the intended meaning.

So, the correct sentence would be: "He has been put in prison for life."
