> What's wrong with locking the people up?
1) The get released and murder more people.
2) They escape and murder more people.
3) There are plenty of people they can murder in prison, some of
the 2 million prisoners in the USA convicted of much less serious crimes or
some of the hundred thousand or so that work there.
4) In a world without a death penalty you are tell people who have already
been convicted of murder that they will suffer no penalty if they kill
again.
>a life sentence _is_ reversible
How do you give back 10 years of life?
