In 2010 the Conservative government introduced a crime bill which would kill the so-called faint hope clause that allows some people serving life sentences to apply for parole after 15 years (instead of the usual 25 common for first-degree murder and other life sentence convictions). Opponents of the crime bill argue that extended prison sentences are cruel and will cost the government tens of millions of dollars per year.Proponents argue that 15 years is too short of a prison term for people serving life sentences.

if the person being killed was a child molester, a rapist, or anything of a bad nature then they deserve parole but if they killed an innocent person then they deserve life
@9TJJT4X7mos7MO
it depends what they are in for or who they killed, if it was cold hearted, no reason. having a mental break down then no. if it was an accident, or they killed someone in jail who graped a child or something like that, in my opinion yes. but that's just my opinion.
@9MVJV3NConservative11mos11MO
Yes if they have been mentally checked and we know that they won't kill again but it also depends on the severity of the murder.
@9M6RXV312mos12MO
A strict psychological evaluation shows they are no longer a threat to society as well as having completed the provided rehabilitation program
@9KRRPZZ1yr1Y
Eligible sure. Reinstate the death penalty for the extreme crimes that go so wildly against human nature and against children (physically or sexually)
@9JJC4PH1yr1Y
we should abolish the prison industrial complex and process harm through transformative and restorative justice
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
Ideally, it should be allowed but it depends on the circumstances of each case and what the verdict was.
@9FPX76R2yrs2Y
it depends if it was on self defence or something in common whit the self defence.
@95BTMTY3yrs3Y
remove the death penalty
@8YHW73L3yrs3Y
Yes, but there should be laws set in place to evaluate those in prison./
@8W65SXT4yrs4Y
If you have a life sentence for murdering someone I think that's what it should be, you made the decision to go through with that action and you should suffer the consequences.
@8PNC8274yrs4Y
depending n the reason the person was murderd for
They should be eligible for parole after a larger amount of years and a psychological evaluation to ensure they are no longer a threat to society.
@8FTG5KJ5yrs5Y
Eligibility to be possible, but only after annual evaluations confirm.
@8F89P6N5yrs5Y
If they have killed someone then they should be killed
@9BK2RQ62yrs2Y
Keep the current system, with the Parole Board of Canada, but also the requirements for dangerous offenders and so forth.
@9B6GYRJ2yrs2Y
yes only if they have done nothing bad while in prison and they have been good
@99L2RPX2yrs2Y
if the murder happened in order to escape abuse or other unfortunate situations yes, otherwise no.
@99K3FJ62yrs2Y
@97MCDDT2yrs2Y
Depends on how the family's victim feels.
@8QW7HCG4yrs4Y
i believe that people who have murdured someone in cold blood should be killed immedliatly
@8DV2PVN5yrs5Y
depends on their crime and they should have to do at least 200 hours of community services and have a psychological evaluation to make sure they are no longer a threat to society
