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.

Electoral District (2011):
yes, providing a strict psychological evaluation is done. this being said it depends on the case, the situation, the history of said person or back story of the situation
murder is still murder and all should be locked up forever unless they have a really good reason to why they committed the crime!
they should not be let out for murder
Yes, as long as there is significant psychological proof of rehabilitation, and a judge rules it to be the best option.
It depends on the reason
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, but it should be 20 years.
they should do a hearing after 10 years
No, unless the murderer was acting as self defense in an abusive home or situation and can prove the police didn't provide help for their safety when asked.
depending on the crime and empathy they have towards the crime
There should be no fixed sentences; all prisoners should undergo regular psychological evaluation and training aimed at rehabilitation. If a prisoner is deemed to have true remorse and understanding and could be an asset to society, they should be able to return at any time. For those who can never be rehabilitated they should never be released.
Yes, provided a strict psychological evaluation shows they are no longer a threat to society, and we should provide more rehabilitation programs for prisoners. With checking in and redoing a strict psychology test yearly depending on the severity of the crime for to see how they are doing
there should be heavy psych evaluations and for more heinous crimes there should be a death penalty for those deemed extremely dangerous and prone to re offend.
I think this is dependent on the individual. I think that a strict psychological evaluation showing they are no longer a threat to society and also providing more rehabilitation programs for prisoners is a good idea.
Depends on the murder, if it was self-defense or accident then yes, and if it was intentional then no.
Yes, but We need to second guess our justice system and find the corruption before we put innocent people in jail!
yes, providing that they undergo psychological evaluation, no longer a threat, and are strictly monitored when back in society.

Yes, provided a strict psychological evaluation shows they are no longer a threat to society and only if the victims family gets to have a say in the matter
Yes, provided a strict psychological evaluation that shows they are no longer a threat to society and we should provide more rehabilitation programs for prisoners and
They should be eligible for parole after a larger amount of years and a psychological evaluation to ensure they are no longer a threat to society.
We should have a system like Norway our prisons are in humane
I believe they should serve their full sentence and they shouldn’t have an option to get out of prison. Murders should stay in prison and they don’t deserve to be out in the normal world
Cold blooded killer's should not be allowed free.
No but any other serious crime committed should be sent to life without a second chance
depends on the mentality of the murderer
Depends on the stances of First degree Murder, A Fatal car accident is considered first Degree Murder
It depends on the motive.
