their life, should they also be very, very, very sure that they are
improsing the right person?
If not, then they're taking a rather "lax" attitude towards imprisoning
people
Philip Arnold.
Not quite as severe, a 25 year sentence can be repealed if new evidence proves the wrong person was incarcerated, not so easy to do if the
convict is now in a grave. Appeals still have their place, but usually don't go on so long as a death penalty case do to the finality of the sentence.
Also, one can earn early release/parole from a 25 year sentence for good behavior. I don't often hear of death row inmates coming up for parole hearings.
I do agree that the parole system may have gotten a too lax, but I think that may have allot to do with over crowding, which is an new debate.
