But it seems that the city around the shinigami headquarters is "court of pure souls", so except for gifted dead who became shinigami, it's for people who are born here, in Soul Society, for generations.
And they do get old. Except that they stop aging when they become shinagami (ou maybe they age very slowly ?)
I don't know whether those who are really dead people age, but I think they do, too, and die, and pass in the human world again, it's a cycle. But it's not logical, because median age should be higher in Soul Society.
And I fear that these thieves and murderers became like this because of the circumstances, after dying, and Tite Kubo seems very indulgent for violence when it's an effect of necessity.

But really, it's part of what is still obscure.
