RE: Is the death penalty cruel and unusual punishment by definition?
January 17, 2014 at 11:07 pm
I wouldn't have someone killed just for killing one person. Chances are, that person could be rehabilitated, especially given the context of the crime. I just see life imprisonment as worse. Maybe occasionally they'll find out the person is innocent, but if they spend 20 or 30 years or more in prison, they won't really have much life left. Especially if they've been accused of something really horrible and the other inmates make their prison life hell. It can honestly be a crueler fate.
