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.

They should go to fortnite battle match and one who wins gets to leave jail.
@B2STF4QConservative2mos2MO
hmmm this is a very cool and fun topic
@B2STBFV2mos2MO
yes I think this would be amazing In the realm of corrections and rehabilitation, traditional methods have long been the norm. However, as society evolves and the world undergoes continuous change, so too should our approaches to rehabilitation. One intriguing and unconventional proposal is to hold a Fortnite battle match, where prisoners compete in a virtual arena, and the victor earns the opportunity to leave jail. This radical idea might seem far-fetched, yet it offers a unique way to address rehabilitation, promote skill development, and incentivize good behavior.
First and foremost, a For… Read more

this is why I quit to many sweats
@B2STF4QConservative2mos2MO
I think this would be very great since Fortnite is a great game and its very helpful in real life situations
@B2STF2NConservative2mos2MO
I much agree to your statement you have some stunning points and I will be agreeing with your vote because I also think that Fortnite is very helpful in real life because if you were to get mugged on the street you could full box and double pump the robber for the vic Roy
@B2STF2NConservative2mos2MO
calc is short for calculator I'm just using slang guys
@9F7JWQS2yrs2Y
If it’s proven they’ve made changes to themselves, unless theyre a multiple time offender with little to chance of change
@9YGJXM9Conservative5mos5MO
If they pass a strict psychological evaluation that shows they are no longer s threat to society, sure. However they should be monitored on a scheduled basis to see if everything is fine. However, for thise who commit specific heinous premediated crimes, the death penalty should be invoked.
@9XCL7LD6mos6MO
I think there should always be hearings much later in case an individual was wrongfully accused, however I don't any rehabilitation measures should be allowed - it doesn't work; criminals should be properly punished.
@9V9R5P2Conservative7mos7MO
Yes, if they truly and honestly have changed because people change over long periods of time and people regret the choices they make.
@9TZKRJKConservative7mos7MO
depends on the reasoning, if it was self defense, defending someone else's life, then i think they shouldn't even be convicted to begin with.
@9TZC3YPConservative7mos7MO
They should undergo a psychological evaluation and other strict testing but should have a longer range than 15 years
@9TWK4RLConservative7mos7MO
I think they should serve 20 years minimum. No early releases. After 20+ years they should have eligibility.
@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.
@9LZSWQCConservative12mos12MO
Depending on the situation. Example if someone killed another just because they felt like it. Or were a serial killer targeting random people no they should never be allowed out.
But if someone killed another because of self defense or if they individual that was killed was a pedofile or rapist or something else extremely bad. Then the person that killed someone like that. Shouldn't be in jail in the first place.
@9LTTQMVConservative 12mos12MO
It depends the reason on why they murdered someone. If it was a form of defence yes, if not no. Either way they should have a strict psychological evaluation before they are released.
@9L68TJT1yr1Y
depends on the details of the murder and their should be a sort of rehabilitation camp for these individuals before they are released
@9L4PZ2KConservative1yr1Y
the life sentance should be the rest of there life instead of the 15 years that they give or up to 45 years at max
@9KRRPZZ1yr1Y
Eligible sure. Reinstate the death penalty for the extreme crimes that go so wildly against human nature and against children (physically or sexually)
@9KCF7R6Conservative1yr1Y
Depending on age I think a strict psychological evaluation would be acceptable but for the more elderly or those with multiple counts of life death penalty/euthanasia might be a smart alternative.
@9J4JGWRConservative1yr1Y
Yes, dependant on the nature of the crime. Constant repeat offenders should not be eligible, rehabilitation should be provided and a strict psychological evaluation should be done to prove they are not a threat to society.
@9H9XLMMConservative1yr1Y
Only if they pass strict psychological assessment and have not committed/attempted any other crimes.
@9GYC866Conservative1yr1Y
yes but they should be under more watch when they are in public and they should be prepared to enter back into public life
@9FR2W9PConservative2yrs2Y
This can only be answered if one knew the circumstances of the crime, and whether there were extenuating circumstances related to that conviction.
@9F9VFF3Conservative2yrs2Y
Only if the prisoner has a very good reason
@9F83RNNConservative2yrs2Y
A much longer time such as 30 years
@9CH9Z8P2yrs2Y
It depends on the severity and the circumstances in regard to prisoners who committed first degree murder.
@9BLGW4M2yrs2Y
i think if you take someones life away you should never be out of jail your life should be no longer happy.
@99YN5RFConservative2yrs2Y
I think it truthfully depends on the situation, depending on wether or not it was self defense etc.
@96SK4BFConservative2yrs2Y
if found new evidence or proven guilty then yes
@96PNDQSConservative2yrs2Y
Should be eligible for a parole but after 20-25 years instead
@965KWGTConservative3yrs3Y
depends on how the murder was preformed
@9644S3YConservative3yrs3Y
@95Z3857Conservative3yrs3Y
i think if there was reasoning then maybe but if not then no
@95H2DSXConservative3yrs3Y
No, the minimum sentence for first-degree murder should be 25 years.
@95CVJ66Conservative3yrs3Y
Yes, so that we can stop wasting taxpayers' money for their food.
@958H6MWConservative3yrs3Y
it all really depends on what happened or the story behind it
@93VBRYZConservative3yrs3Y
I think prisoners should get the opportunity but must go through a psych eval and be on close watch with parole officers and city police. They should also provide more rehabilitation programs to improve the rate of reintegrated prisoners.
@93RSFHY3yrs3Y
No, and we should provide more rehabilitation programs for prisoners. The Canadian prison system should be reformed to be less punitive and instead focus on restorative solutions to reduce recidivism rates and help reintegrate prisoners back into society.
@93RQ5HYConservative3yrs3Y
No, it should at least be 25 years
@8ZM45LHConservative3yrs3Y
Only if there is a complete justifiable reason for their crime and they should bee checked up on food the rest of their lives
@8Z795TF3yrs3Y
Yes, provide they show that they aren't a threat to society
@8Z3PR9Z3yrs3Y
Depends on the circumstances and reasoning
@8YYT4RJConservative3yrs3Y
Yes and alert the victims friends and family that he will be released
@8YDG2G23yrs3Y
it should be longer (something like 30 years)
depending on how severe or bad the person was and if they have learned their lesson.
@8WDWTJTConservative4yrs4Y
If they Prove they have changed and got the help when needed but if they killed more than one person not by accident than Life unless prove somthing but 3 No life no parole
@8VV622DConservative4yrs4Y
Once they are not considered a threat to society and after going through rehabilitation programs then yes
@8VTRJNHConservative4yrs4Y
Yes but if they can not be rehabilitated they have to wait another 15 years
@8VTK7JM4yrs4Y
I would say that it would be about 20 to 25 years
@8VT64VPConservative4yrs4Y
NOOO. you have taken a life, put them to the electric chair
@8VSTDMFConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, provided a strict psychological evaluation shows they are no longer a threat and reinstate the death penaly for heinous premeditated crimes.
@8VQS4CK4yrs4Y
yes but add 100 more years
@8VPB6CPConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, if it can be proved that they have rehabilitated and feel remorse.
@8VMSBDBConservative4yrs4Y
maybe depending on the situation
@8VMGRYBConservative4yrs4Y
Depends on the crime and why
@8VLCM8NConservative4yrs4Y
they killed somebody and end their life. they are lucky that they are still alive so no
@8VL9J97Conservative4yrs4Y
only if people find that they have changed over the years
@8VDKGYR4yrs4Y
For anyone over 18 years old they should have the life sentence, but anyone under should be able to get parole as kids often make mistakes they later regret, including murder.
@8VC8RQWConservative4yrs4Y
Life should mean life and there should not be a release ever
@8V5CS564yrs4Y
25 years as it currently is
@8V4RGZFConservative4yrs4Y
If they had a good reason for murder like killing someone who tried to hurt someone you love then, yes. Cold blooded murder for no apparent reason, no.
@8TXF8JKConservative4yrs4Y
Case by case basis after thorough professional examinations and tests to determine danger
@8TKLQWJConservative4yrs4Y
Yes but only depends on the murder and make sure they are not going to be a threat to the society.
@8THMJNG4yrs4Y
We should focus more on rehabilitation rather then punishment
@8TBNB37Conservative4yrs4Y
Have them be on parole for life
@8T86MNK4yrs4Y
If they have good behaviour and are 100% rehabilitated to where they won't commit any crimes then yes.
@8T4K5QRConservative4yrs4Y
Provided a strict psychological evaluation showing they are no longer a threat to society and providing more rehabilitation programs for prisoners.
@8SLX5ZZ4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as everyone is a fair distance away
@8SDC2GDConservative4yrs4Y
No, reinstate the death penalty for first-degree murder and use the funds for rehabilitation
@8SD9PTWConservative4yrs4Y
after the 15 year and they have not shown a change in life stye then but if they are changed then yes
@8RSJ9WYConservative4yrs4Y
They should go to a rehab facility after 15 years.
@8RL47CS4yrs4Y
Ist degree has a PED of 25 years. No need to reduce that. If there is more than 1 victim, or a peace officer, or police/correctional officer is killed in the line of duty, the death sentence should be imposed as long as there is hard physical and forensic evidence, including photo or video of the act. In addition, the death penalty for any crime that results in the death of a child.
@8RJB7QRConservative4yrs4Y
it only takes one second for a man to change
@8QSCKCK4yrs4Y
I believe it depends on the reason why they did it, if they did it strictly to kill someone then they should stay away but if they did it in regards to a family member being sexually assaulted or anything by these lines they should be eligible for parole because if they did it to protect their family members they probably wont go out and just kill people for no reason
@8QRW5Q2Conservative4yrs4Y
No, depending on the crime and severity of it parole should be offered at minimum time of half way through their sentence.
@8QRNKHZConservative4yrs4Y
No if you have first degree murder, you should receive automatic death sentence, no question, eye for a eye
@8Q9BT7SConservative4yrs4Y
Life sentences should be considered inhumane; the death penalty should be reinstated for heinous premeditated crimes.
@8PS3BLXConservative4yrs4Y
they should be heard as soon as possible
@8NW3K9HConservative4yrs4Y
I’m Against Life In Prison & More In Favour Of Capital Punishment.
@8NSCQPPConservative4yrs4Y
No, unless they have completed a rehabilitation program. And we should provide more programs to make this happen!
@8K6SNVBConservative4yrs4Y
They should be eligible for a parole hearing after 7.5 years
@8CH3X5X5yrs5Y
yes depending if they have changed
@9CZSHLS2yrs2Y
maybe depending on the case
@9CMY88HConservative2yrs2Y
under very specific circumstances should they get a parole hearing. for instance if they were murdering someone who had been abusing them over the years
@9CMVF982yrs2Y
It depends on the severity of the crime and the motivations of the person
@9CMH3WPConservative2yrs2Y
Prisoners serving life for first degree murder should be eligible after at least 25 years, and I also believe the death sentence should be reinstated.
@9CLLRNS2yrs2Y
I think each case should be reviewed individually. Second chances should be given to those who show promise of living up to them.
@9CDNCCCConservative2yrs2Y
it depends on the situatution of the individual convict and the changes they have made since being arrested
@9BZ4H6TConservative2yrs2Y
If they murdered someone by accident ( Ex hit and run)
@9BRFWM4Conservative2yrs2Y
Yes because in the future the police might stumble on something showing that they are innocent. Also they get another shot at life maybe.
