Monks belonged to the Church and were subject to Canon Law, not the King's law. This meant that if they committed a very serious crime they could only be tried by a bishop and the penalty did not include death - in practice, monks would not normally be tried at all but punished within their monastic community by the head of the monastery.
Otherwise they were "privileged" by having regular meals guaranteed every day, a place to sleep, an education, a life away from the sins and temptations of the world and less chance of becoming sick - and a dedicated infirmary to look after them if they did become ill. This infirmary was also a place for them to be cared for in old age.
