ELI5: What happens to the property and assets of criminals sentenced to life in prison?

I'm not sure if it's asked before or what, but I thought it would have an interesting answer. I mean, who keeps the property and stuff? Where does Billy Bob Joe's trailer and bank account go? To his family/sons/girlfriend/beneficiary, like in a case of death? Or to the government?

If your property was not used in the commission of the crime you're in jail for, the government has no recourse to seize it. That person still owns their property and can do with it what they see fit. Of course, they are restricted in their ability to use it, being in prison and all.
