Yeah I sometimes wonder if life imprisonment is worse than the death penalty. I’ve often heard those opposed to the death penalty say “death is too good for this person. I want them to rot in jail for decades,” or something along those lines.
On a personal level, I’d rather experience life imprisonment rather than the death penalty if I got the choice. I figure a lot of others feel the same way.
Then how come people sentenced to life without parole aren’t trying for the death penalty? It always goes the other way–people facing death want life without parole.
Not to everyone. There are a fair number of suicides in prison, even among those *not *facing life without parole.
You know, “Land of the Free”, and all that stuff ? And no, I’m still not gay.
