Yes for horrific violent and sexual crimes against children.
@9DC9NQC2yrs2Y
No. However you should sever the sentence in your own country.
@9DBPRF92yrs2Y
No, spending life in prison without the chance of parole is a harsher sentence
@9DBKDCW2yrs2Y
yes but only if the problem is really big and can't be fixed
@9DB4TBY2yrs2Y
Yes, what a waste of tax payer money keeping them alive. Although undeniable evidence must be obtained.
@9DB4N8R2yrs2Y
No, not until prison populations reflect the demographical proportions of the outside population to prevent corrupt practice.
@9DB46QF2yrs2Y
Should serve jail time first
@9D9VNL62yrs2Y
Yes, if they have done an absolutely horrific crime, such as murder, rape, etc. They should have the same or at least similar done to them so that they can know the pain their victim went through.
