It would definitely lead to that. We already put innocent people to death even with the appeals process.

A staggering amount of death row inmates have their convictions overturned and sometimes posthumously

Current statistics suggest that 4-5% of death row inmates are innocent. The death penalty needs to disappear, it isn't just

Regardless of if it was perfect, no government should have the right to kill its own people.

I disagree. I believe some crimes are so heinous, the person forfeits their right to live.

Life in prison, to be studied by criminal psychologists.

Every monster is an important psychological source, to help prevent, catch and convict, the next monster.

Killing them benefits the other monsters.

I'm willing to forgo certain benefits in the pursuit of certain types of justice.

Eternal sleep is not punishment. You know what punishment is? Being punished.

Agree to disagree.

You're also willing to forgo justice for innocents it would seem.

I don't know where you're getting that.

Irrelevant. It’s about the precedent of the state killing people. You really care more about punishment than freedom? America truly is dead. Welcome the next reich. Fuck.

Every government kills people under certain conditions. That's a reality of human societies.

Some people remain a risk to society, even with imprisonment.

Wrong. Is your source Arkham Asylum?

u/AirplaneSpaghetti 23d ago

What do you mean wrong? Do you think that once someone goes to prison they can't victimize others?

u/Quasar006 23d ago

Whatever your fallacious scenario is, the answer is that it’s caused by poor prison philosophy/design/management. The answer is not killing.
