Which is worse in your opinion?

[Anonymous]

1. Life in prison with no possibility of being released

2. The death penalty

[Chazmatazz269]

Life in prison is worse in every way except one. It leaves the possibility that people can still be exonerated.
In a society that honestly reflects on its abilities to serve “justice”, life in prison is far more just.
Only people who are perfectly comfortable executing innocent people argue for the death penalty.
There is literally nobody on the planet who believes that the justice system under which they live is absolutely perfect. Statistically, in the US a CONFIRMED 12% of convicts are unlawfully imprisoned. Another 7%, minimum, are guilty but released for any of a number of reasons, only to reoffend.
So our “justice system” has a one KNOWN one in five failure rate, and there are people perfectly comfortable with executing human beings on that lousy of a system. I guarantee very few of those same clowns would commit their lives and livelihoods to vehicles that fail and kill 20% of their users.
But they likely never think for themselves enough to realize that conclusion.

To experience? Life in prison.

Overall policy? Death sentence.

Why? Because while the death sentence is over fairly quickly, relatively speaking, it has a lot of issues not related to your experience. Most notably the fact that you can, and a lot of people have been executed when they were actually innocent. Life in prison at least has the possibility for the court of law to find its mistake later and attempt to compensate for it. It is however very hard to provide compensation for someone who is dead.

The death penalty is clearly worse. There is no chance for change or growth.

Life in prison remains LIFE. You have the ability to do something better than what landed you in prison. And 10 percent of people in prison were wrongly accused. So there is also the chance to be able to leave with help and proof of your innocence, or changes in the system.

Depends on the facility, the state where the sentence was issued, and how many choices are available if the death penalty is unavoidable (i. e. can I choose the electric chair over a lethal injection, etc.)

Well I would call it the best not worst but death penalty.

Life is prison means you get the privileged of still being alive, and you can read, have a coke still enjoy some stuff on the inside. While in death none of that can happen and I know we only have this one life to live so you really want to be alive than dead.

But that's why we shouldn't allow them to have that. If you've been proven guilty without a doubt, I say death penalty should be granted.

I would probably rather be executed but I guess where there is life there is hope.
