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.

Not always. Courts should be given deference spanning from several years, to life, to the death penalty.
@96BBN743yrs3Y
Eligible for parol after 25 years.
@95J3TL43yrs3Y

@958B2MN3yrs3Y
i believe they should get parole after 30 years
@92XLDYW3yrs3Y
Self defense should be eligible at a sooner parole time. After an evaluation for mental state.
@8YX9SGH3yrs3Y
Depends on What kind of Murder, If on Purpose no. But if by Mistake then Yes
@8YW2L5T3yrs3Y
it depends on the details of the murder
@8VBF2F24yrs4Y
Yes, if it was a crime done as an accident or because they were young and naive, or they still claim innocence. We should provide more rehabilitation programs for prisoners and assign a buddy system outside for them with free counselling for the first year or two.
@8SHKJ7L4yrs4Y
Should be checked if the person has changed or learned or not
if they are ready mentally i think they should be, but if they are not then no.
depending on the nature of the person
Yes, but have dangerous offender legislation so that people like Paul Bernardo have a much harder time getting out.
@996WBWQ2yrs2Y
if the relatives of the victim are alright with letting him be realeased
@8YX8ZH53yrs3Y
Yes, only if the murder was of personal reasoning, not a random individual.
