Besides, languishing in jail forever IMO is far worse. I used to be a staunch believer in the death penalty.
Life without parole is worse. I like worse.

That gives them a whole life to maim or kill an innocent hard working person who has to interact with them. On a tour of the West Virginia State Penitentiary where Charles Manson's mother was a guest, a guy made a knife than looked like a half sized machete. He used cleanser and string to wear a piece of a metal plate off his cell door. He used toothpaste mixed with shavings and coffee grounds to cover his handy work. The tour guide was an ex female guard, she said it probably took well over a year to make that thing.
