I like the death penalty as long as it can be painful. I don’t like the ways of executing the people on death row today, it’s too… peaceful. Also, putting ppl on Life Without Parole (LWOP) costs a lot and the people there don’t have anything to lose so they will harm others, such as the other, more innocent inmates and COs. And what if they escape and do more harm? Or convince a judge (because our legal system is fucked and we have a lot of dumbasd judges) to let them go???
I believe imprisonment until death or rehabilitation is better, not because it prolongs the convicts suffering, but because its coherent with the penitentiary’s multi-purpose (punishment, deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation). And more importantly, because it reflects the valuable idea that human life is priceless and not for authorities to take. The government shouldn’t be allowed to kill citizens unless there is no alternative.
