No, life in solitary confinement would be a far better deterrent

No, automatic appeals make it significantly more expensive than a life sentence.

@6HDD83R5yrs5Y
Yes, but only as a last resort, where life imprisonment shall also be an alternative
@6HDD83R5yrs5Y
Yes, but only as a last resort, where life imprisonment shall also be an alternative (life for those who were 21 years or older at the time of the crime, 50 years for those under 21 years)
@38LNC725yrs5Y
No, too many people are innocently convicted - even though in theory I would say yes for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, I do not trust the government to execute this sufficiently
@63ZXW6N4yrs4Y
Yes, but improve it to go faster and ensure no innocent person is killed.
@77QDMZN4yrs4Y
No because the death penalty costs way more than life without parole.
@757T3R35yrs5Y
Yes, we cannot risk the escape of convicted murderers or sex offenders
@8C6ZKZK5yrs5Y
No, as appeals cases are tiresome to the court systems and end up costing more money to tax payers
