Top 10 Reasons Why a Life Sentence Without Parole is a Better Punishment Than the Death Penalty
Imagine that there is a killer on the loose, and someone close to you has just gone missing. Now they’ve caught the killer, and discovered the remains of their victims. You’ve now realized one of the victims was that missing person you were close to. Now you’re awaiting the killer's sentence.Which would you choose? An immediate sentence to spend the rest of their years in prison without any chance of parole? Or a lengthy wait to watch this killer get executed? Well, my friends, both choices have their pros and cons, but I shall detail to you why the better choice is life in prison without parole.
Life without parole is swift and severe. The death penalty takes much more time to get through, with some prisoners waiting for decades before they’re actually executed. If someone wanted confirmation that the person who killed someone they were close to is getting a swift punishment, then life without parole is the best choice.
The families of the victims probably just want to know that the person that took away someone they loved will never see daylight again. Typically the ones witnessing the convict get put down will include the families of the victims, and I’m sure they’d want nothing more than to never have to never have to deal with the convict ever again. Since life without parole is a quicker process, the loved ones can have more time to heal and deal.
Setting up the execution, whether it be lethal injection or electric chair, costs money. Money which could be saved just by leaving convicts to die in prison. By sentencing more convicts to life without parole over the death penalty, we would save near billions that can be used to invest in cold cases, among other things.
Wow a good point
You don't need any other arguments than this. Every person in their right mind should see that the possibility of a wrongful conviction is always there, and if the punishment is lethal then you ended an innocent person's life.
Of course because the death penalty in trying to become more humane and friendly has managed to make something much more worse than the old guillotine way, plus with so much reports of how many innocent people get the death penalty doesn't help either.
