unfortunate but guilty people can still kill

even in jail

if they were dead they couldnt kill anyone

so there would still be a net gain

the number of innocent people being executed will go down with better DNA testing

Maybe in the 80's and 90's there would be a net loss of life

Read this conviction list

@michael yes and so can a guillotine. on a innocent target.

notice when all the people were convicted?

Yet you are missing the point. what if they had changed? People can change. There is alot of people who committed drug crimes. should they die for that?

so you are against life in prison without parol?

._.

@michael sortve

and Im not referring to petty drug crimes

and prison should be about changing the people if they are one day going to get out

Then what crimes exactly?

rape

1st degree murder

is that it?

We can use those examples for now

because i think i can get behind that,

<:waitwhat:583236680903950355> <:thonk:583236646858653696>

maybe serious crimes.

well obviously not charges of weed

sure

if youre caught with weed i dont want your head off

so just 1st degree murder and rape?

Id say so yes

and anyone named Rorschach of the right.political on discord

all 9085 of you

well\

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/28/death-penalty-study-4-percent-defendants-innocent

4.1% of all sentence to death were innocent

in the us

id be willing to bet that 99% of those were before 2005

Okay just those two things. what about people that change?

people can change in prison

Nah

Ur prison system is flawed

@Gerry yes they can
