your alternatives are already in place
All they have to do is lie to the parol board, and they're as free as a bird.
"Life without parole" is already a sentence.
Where did you get your "75% of lifers are parolled way before their life is over" statistic?
It should be like this: all violent felons, nation-wide, should be locked up, 23 hours a day, with the remaining hour of yard time... No forms of entertainment whatsoever... Really bad food would be good too. For especially well-behaved cons, you could have it so they get more priveleges. They earn them. They don't get them.
You do realize that a whole range of prison types and types of wings within prisons already exist? You don't seem to be describing anything new.
Ever heard of "minimum" and "maximum" security prisons, as an obvious example?
The reason I said what I did about crime can be fought with an iron fist via the death penalty is because in nations that have stricter justice systems they have lower crime rates. Its a fact of life.
Fact, eh? Then please supply evidence.
*sigh* I probably sound like an old cranky hermit.
No, but quite frankly, you don't sound like someone who lives in the US or has any idea of the nature of prison life...
No Tv.
Yep. That will make it a living hell.
After all, right now prisons are like country clubs, what with all of the rape and gang warfare.
