True - but the fact I mentioned casts serious doubt on the effectiveness of life sentences. If the real risk of death isn’t getting you out of the trade, why would the real risk of life without parole?
I don’t really expect many will get out, but they will never be able to re-enter society as is the case with the failed catch and release policy so prevalent in our justice, excuse my faux pas, legal system. And eliminating repeat offenders is good for our citizens and society.

If eliminating the repeat offenders also opens up attractive opportunities for new offenders, I don't see much net benefit. I think your relegalization proposal is the better way to go.
