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 it was proves self defense yes
@9BW2NCY2yrs2Y
It depends on why they did what they did, if it was out of self-defence or because they were being abused by the people who they killed of course. Even if it was because of other reasons they should offer good rehabilitation programs and go psych evaluations on them to make sure they're okay mentally..
@95BS7H63yrs3Y
Yes, provided psychological evaluation and continued engagement in rehabilitative services to assess risk and mitigated risks for reoffending post release.
they should not be let out for murder
@947RZL33yrs3Y
Provided psychological evaluation and proper rehabilitation
Yes, most prisoners (at least in America) get falsely accused for murder
@93FV8Y53yrs3Y
It depends on why they killed
@926RKBNNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes but they should be under psychological review along with rehabilitation programs
@8ZCNVDN3yrs3Y
It depends what the murder entails
@8Y8LP963yrs3Y
There should be restorative justice measures in place especially for Indigenous offenders, and a hearing should be available if the offender has followed Indigenous restorative justice protocols for a majority of their sentence.
@8W8J43S4yrs4Y
Depends on why and how the person was killed
@8VRRWV24yrs4Y
Provide rehabilitation programs and psychological evaluation.
@8VP9Y5Z4yrs4Y
Depends on why they killed someone
@8VBRM9C4yrs4Y
Yes, but a hearing should be done if there is new evidence proving their innocence
@8V8FJD44yrs4Y
It would depend heavily on the circumstance of the murder. If it was self defense, parole should be available immediately
@8TX3YTBNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, depending on the reason behind their murder.
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.
@8SJ3CVL4yrs4Y
I need to do more research on this topic
Maybe if you are able to prove they are mentally stable enough to make sure they will not go on a killing spree after they are let out
@8RG6SG34yrs4Y
Depends on the violence of the crime and how well they have rebilitated themselves.
No they should stay in jail
@8R3WYS84yrs4Y
Depends how they murdered the person
@8Q78H854yrs4Y
Yes, but there should be many psychological evaluation/rehabilitation hurdles to jump through in order to get that parole.
@8PVDV2GNew Democratic4yrs4Y
No, but we should put in more rehabilitation programs and programs/systems to prevent this
@8PPY29H4yrs4Y
Maybe. Locking someone up in prison won’t fix anything. It’d probably make things worse. If they completely changed prisons then maybe
@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
@8NGM3JW4yrs4Y
Yes, but depends on the physiological condition of the offender
@8KJC7RM4yrs4Y
Only if it was in self defence. A father who murders husband child is not self defence.
@8J9J8NZ4yrs4Y
@8J84QVQ4yrs4Y
If there is case of wrongful conviction
@8HFNFSB5yrs5Y
Should work easy and low risk job With no pay as punishment
@9C8YJM32yrs2Y
I think when it comes to the specific situation of the prisoner, like if they were abused for years or had to kill out of self-defence then yes and provide rehabilitation for them. There should be rehabilitation for all prisoners of lower crime though.
Dependiendo del tipo de delito.
@8PTT29F4yrs4Y
@8KSPPR94yrs4Y
Yes, with rehabilitation and psychological evaluation
