Forums - General - Would you rather get life in prison or the Death sentence?

Death Sentence.

They make it quick and painless, I can be on TV, and knowing that I would never commit a crime that warrants it, I'd be a legendary martyr, who wrote beautiful poems and rap songs while he was waiting on his sentence to arrive.

I can get a delicious gourmet final meal and avoid rotting in prison for 50 some odd years. Death is not that bad.

Life in prison obviously. I mean, death has no advantages.

With life in prison, you can still enjoy life through reading, speaking to family, etc. And if you really can't tolerate prison, you could try to escape. You might succeed and become free, or you may fail and die. I'd rather risk death than guarantee death.

Saying it is just the most horrible time you have ever had. No escaping. All trying to escape will do is get you thrown in some dark danky hole.



How would you have that information before deciding?

A lot of the responses here are baffling. I seriously doubt anyone on here would actually choose death if they had to make this decision in reality. I've never heard of a case where a future convictee believed the death sentence to be the best option.

when you think about it..

life in prison = free healthcare for life, 3 meals a day,

I think that has less to do with their prisons and more to do with their culture.

Culture, it's the one thing EVERYBODY seems to ignore when comparing countries and trying to figure out what policys work best... yet it's the one facet of our lives that has a serious noticeable effect on everything from crime rates, to how long you'll live naturally to productions levels, unemployment, corruption...

You don't seem to have made a point on the other side of that observation... WHY is there such a culture difference that makes America seemingly much worse for crime, for guns, for unemployment, for economic instablity, for corruption, etc? Arguing culture is a convenient way to basically go "other countries that have solved the problem aren't relevant, because our culture is different".

There is a prison i think in Norway,Sweden or so where you live like a god in there.

HD TV,Gaming PCs and everything you want in general.
If i get into that prison i would live in Prison...Everywhere else,especially outside of middleeurope > Please kill me.

This is it : http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1989083_2137368,00.html

Presumably Norway. Norway is quite remarkable, because they have perhaps the nicest and most lax prisons in the world, and I think their longest jail sentence is 21 years or something... and yet, they have extremely low levels of recidivism and people who come out exclaim that they never want to be back.

I think that has less to do with their prisons and more to do with their culture.

Culture, it's the one thing EVERYBODY seems to ignore when comparing countries and trying to figure out what policys work best... yet it's the one facet of our lives that has a serious noticeable effect on everything from crime rates, to how long you'll live naturally to productions levels, unemployment, corruption...

practically everything involving a human really.

As for the above...  Life in prison.

Why?   I'd be alive.

Prison isn't THAT bad.  

I mean hell... is being a prisoner really much worse then being your average person in mideviel times?

Farm, then spend the rest of your day lieing in bed to not waste energy while some asshole king took all of your profit?

At least in prison your time is yours... you can read and shit... be well behaved you get all kinds of priveledges.

Heck I mean i bet there are corners of the world where people would sign up to go to US prisons just to get out of the hell holes they live in now.


Hell yeah, Club Guantanamo Bay! Sorry bud but US Prisons are serious. America takes pride that one of the last things we lead the world in is the amount of people detained in prisons. Even the private sector wants to profit off of it. When a culture takes to this I fear for the future and I also fear for what the people inside are thinking and the with prolonged sentences how worse their temperments grow.  I fear a third world prison, but I also fear American prison. Fuck American prison, Norways Halden prison is like a hotel. Halden tries to turn their criminals into better people with activities American prisoners could only dream of.
