because violent criminals should experience justice before death, and that justice should attempt to repay society for the crimes they’ve committed. I have yet to meet anyone against sentencing people to community service as part of a parole, but as soon as you also keep them in prison as part of their sentence, it’s immoral and unjust?
By keeping people who think the punishment for doing violent crimes has become “lax enough” from themselves committing these crimes.
I’m thinking of the people who would rather kill their spouse than go through a divorce, or who would kill someone to leave no witnesses to a lesser crime. I’m worried about any of these people seeing a completely humane prison system and thinking "yeah even if I got caught it would be worth it.” for any crime that harms another person. This is a short term change in policy that we can enact to make a HUGE leap in improving our justice system, while the mental healthcare system of our country catches up.

How does that help anyone?
