@FeetAreFantastic: If somebody terminated your family, was remorseless and smiled at you in court and got a life sentence instead of the electric chair wouldn't that mess you up?

@Randomperson: no. Actually I think a life sentence is a penalty that's much worse.
But no kind of penalty is going to make me feel any better or bringing back the dead. Any form of satisfaction with revenge is very short lived. I also think life is a fundamental right for everybody, in principle. When we put someone to death, that's murder too.

@FeetAreFantastic: How is a life sentence much worse, when they carry on living. Sheltered, fed, clothed, tutored and entertained and in rare cases let out for good behavior only for them to repeat the killing spree.Almost 100 killers, rapists and paedophiles who were given life sentences by judges have been released - only to be jailed for life again.
In the last decade, 95 criminals have been let out on parole but have gone on to commit horrific crimes which have resulted in another life sentence.
The shocking figures include 13 violent criminals who were locked up for a second time in 2015.
It means innocent victims have been killed, raped and abused by convicted criminals that the parole board considered were safe to re-enter society.
