    They say the months so it sounds more scientific and reasonable than the reality of putting someone in a cage and torturing them for 20 years.

      Yah that is pretty terrible.
      Better to simply execute for all crimes, and abolish prisons.

        I can’t tell if serious or not but I genuinely believe there’s truth to that. Strengthen requirements and vetting when evaluating cases, but if someone commits a previous crime I don’t think their lifetime is redeemable. Sure they can “change and rehabilitate” but if you murder or rape someone that should be signing off on the rest of your life.

        I understand the argument of “well if we kill all criminals what about framing or innocent bystanders getting caught up?” Run a national vote.
