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.

The prisoners should receive rehabilitation while in prison. Then they should receive a psychological evaluation after 15 years to show they are no longer a threat to society. If they are no longer a threat to society, then they become eligible for a parole hearing.

Depending on the situation, reasoning etc and add more programs for prisoners when released to help rehabilitate them and so they don’t end up back

Yes but only during certain instances and causes for the act

Depends on the severity of the crime and the situation.

Yes, and the prisoners who serving any sentences for first degree murder should not be eligible for a parole hearing in any time.
