Do you believe life without possibility of Parole is a greater punishment than a death sentence?

Life without parole, while it does penalize the convict, also penalizes the taxpayer since it's our tax dollars that must be used to house, cloth, and feed these criminals. If the crime fits the punishment, I say the death penalty would be better. If not, allow for the possibility of parole or make it a certain number of years that they must serve.

Life without parole but only if it's in an Alaskan Gulag. Please read my answer to the 'For or against death sentence? ' question, it'll be about the same.

---Thank You.

To the public and those effected by the crime life imprisonment is a greater punishment but to a criminal I doubt it.

In some ways yes. The death pen tortures by the methods used, but at the same time when its over, its over. Life in prision still tortures, but it is dragged out forever.

At a stand point it all depends who was killed and why they were kille.

But in a legal system prone to mistakes and with roge prosecutors overcoming the checks and balances that should protect the innocent from wrongful conviction and execution, at least if and when the mistake is made we can still save the innocent from execution. With the death penalty, it's just over.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
