From the other side of the pond, it seems like a good solution would be to a) fix the appeals process and b) stop jailing people for life without parole.
Advocating the death penalty because it 'force[s] an appeals process' appears to approach completely the wrong end of the problem.
- tptacek 11y agoPeople imprisoned for life tend to be convicted of murder. The problem isn't that their sentences are too long; it's that for some of them, they shouldn't have been sentenced at all. Eliminating life without parole doesn't logically address the problem.
