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.

First-degree murder means that it was premeditated. Murderers do not deserve rehabilitation if serving a first-degree murder.

@8R3ZM794yrs4Y
perhaps, but ending jails is a must.
@8QPHLGZ4yrs4Y
it depends how many murders the criminal committed and on the time span that each murder happened.
@8GKKMGP5yrs5Y
In the case where it’s a possible wrongful imprisonments I’d say yes. If the convict has admitted guilt then no
