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.

we should abolish the prison industrial complex and process harm through transformative and restorative justice
@96GLR2B3yrs3Y
Yes, and we should work towards abolishing the prison system entirely.
@95BS7H63yrs3Y
Yes, provided psychological evaluation and continued engagement in rehabilitative services to assess risk and mitigated risks for reoffending post release.
This is a complicated issue, but if someone killed me by accident or on purpose I would hope that this person could sent to a place where they can learn to cooperate with people and learn to control their rage, punishment only leads to rebellion, people need to be treated with respect when being rehabilitated not imprisoned
Yes and abolish the prison system.
@8TKFPRH4yrs4Y
Yes, and we should be working towards the abolition of prisons and carceral infrastructures by heavily investing in rehabilitation programs, models of restorative justice and community accountability, social services, and psychiatric health care.
@8RP6SJ54yrs4Y
I think if the evidence is proved true, than no. If they were convicted on the run without complete evidence, yes.
@8PK936W4yrs4Y
Depending on the crime. If the individual has killed several people they should not. Everyone else should be case by case, and rehabilitation is very important.
@8P79JNN4yrs4Y
Yes if they look at the effect on the family
@8H6N2C25yrs5Y
Yes, but it should be 30 years, psychological evaluation
@8RG8QDQ4yrs4Y
Maybe, it depends on the situation.
