Assuming what you say is true, Moth, then compared to the guys on death row, you're on a vacation.
And they often spend up to ten years there (or even more) before they're finally executed, due to all the red tape involved. They rarely get much sympathy, but still...
Yes a soon to be taken vacation that i might not volenterally go on, depending the result, im on bail.
Yeah in cases like that it would be even worse bro, imagine for 5+ years your uncertain if your gonna live or die,
but you no that regardless you are never going to be able to enjoy the things that you ones did, thats an even worse
situation than the ones i summed up bro. Because in those situations, the mind is put through even more uncertainty
in an environment in which often makes people worse because of the conditions.
Obliviously i cant speak for people in those positions because the amount of mental torment, in which they themselves inflict on theirselfs
for what... 5 years, few could compare to...
You cant simply lock someone up for 20+ years, if they make it out, release them, and exspect that they are gonna be happy, SAIN, law abiding people.
The effects is the extream opposite, locking someone up for 20+ years while in the environment that encourages malevolent behavior, creates a person with
very little cares and very little worries about another persons life... It makes people worse and in turn creates more problems.
When you hear on the news , oh some persons just been locked away from 20 years, and you think nuthing of it, thats someones entire life and dreams that
are not meaningless, now obviously theirs cases where if this isn't done their the person in question could kill/ create much more pain. And this is needed to keep order
and prevent anarchy from being achieved, but you can not simply lock someone up for 20+ years and exspect them to come out a changed man/women for the better.
Often, theyl come out with a criminal mind that would baffle psychologists because of the environment in which they have been forced to accept.
Most people that are in those situations have to much pride to kill theirselfs because of the way they would look to others in prison, and so they internalise
that pain and project it onto others, in the form of bashing,rape and other things.
But in my eyes giving a prisoner, whos facing a 20+ year stretch to replace their sentance with a death sentance, seem more moral and ethical than making someone.
a PRISONER and a SLAVE for 20 YEARS!
Obviously people don't often absorb this perception of death sentences, but put yourself in the situation of others regardless of actions, and think,would you,
be able to LIVE 20 years in a place you hated and couldnt stand, without any of your conforts your use to and ect.. IT would be hell and if your not scared
of dieing you'd prefer a death sentence 10+ years into your life sentence...
