USA and rarely Japan, are the only two democratic countries who still apply the dead penalty, but don't you think that a life sentence is even worse?

I just want to add that I live in Europe and on top of several moral objections, I consider dead penaly useless.

Depends. Both are given due to obvious and extreme criminal offenses. But then, I would really agree with you that death penalty is something that should be abolished. I dont know, I am not talking from the legal point of view, but on a moral level that no one has a right to take another persons life, if crime is committed the punishment should be ''corrective'' and something where the criminal should go through repent.
Entire life in jail, made to rot in jail, or made to work, is better than putting someone to death.

some people have had their sentenced lifted after a undeniable quantity of years. and a few people have gained lighter sentences after being sentenced to the two life in penitentiary or the dying penalty. lots of those people having a undeniable quantity of money, or their turn right into a substitute interior the info got here across to convict them. those sentences do no longer final for a lot of people. Forensic technology to me is between the superb study to help shelter the harmless as properly who've been convicted of a criminal offense they did no longer commit. lol yet to respond to you life perhaps be worse if that man or woman won't be able to speak with kin or they have a tough time in penitentiary, and dying could desire to be worse for some one that is keen to spend something of their life in penitentiary.

Probably, but it costs a load of money to keep someone in jail for years and takes up valuable prison space. Life imprisonment or execution both suck to be honest. I don't think the extra suffering is worth what it would cost to keep them in jail.

it depends on how stable of a person you are, your strength, basically overall how strong a person you are. i think i'd rather be sentenced to life in prison, which isn't something i'm absolutely positive of seeing as i've never experienced being in prison. but i'd probably stick around, just to learn more, and i guess just out of curiosity of what i might miss out on if i'm dead. good question! interesting.

Punishing murder with dead is hypocritical plus killing someone is like putting him out of his misery, it's not punishment. Let them rot in jail
