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.

Case by case decision, some can be rehabilitated while other might not be. It is not black and white
@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.
All depends weather it was done on purpose or by accident
@96FFN4W3yrs3Y
Taking a life intentionally should be served a life sentence without the possibility of parole but I do think rehabilitation programs should be mandated
@8Z6K3L83yrs3Y
No, unless self defence was involved due to domestic violence or an attack where the justice system failed who was being given the life sentence. But yes to death penalty for those who show no remorse for the heinous crime committed purposely. And NO to letting people who claim “insanity” or get out of crimes due to their mental capacity, placing them in a facility where they cannot commit said crimes again instead of wiping their slate clean.
@8VV622DConservative4yrs4Y
Once they are not considered a threat to society and after going through rehabilitation programs then yes
@8VSPM4S4yrs4Y
Murder, no but petty crimes should be easier to appeal and pardoned
@8V82NCG4yrs4Y
It depends why they did it and if it was a crime of passion
@8CD2Y22Rhinoceros5yrs5Y
not all crime is the same, there are different circumstances so it's hard to just apply one standard.
Cold blooded killer's should not be allowed free.
@9BKDQ522yrs2Y
if they get life sentance
@98RTBB52yrs2Y
if they are found guilty and not accused
