No! Although free the Melendez brothers! They got an unfair deal in court.

Yes, on the condition that those they have murdered are also restored to life.

In some rare cases, yes. In the other 97%, no.

Where’s the second chance for the people they raped, killed etc.? I read a good article on how having the death penalty and thought of being executed as a motivator for conversions to Christ which I applaud, but I don’t feel that exempts you from a prison sentence either. We’ve lost our sense of personal accountability and responsibility.

Do their victims get a second chance? No? Then, no.

Depends. I think the younger they are the better the chance for rehabilitating them. Question is are we trying to rehabilitate them or are we just warehousing them?

The correct answer is yes, for non-victim crimes.

Has anyone looked into the lobbying efforts of the private, for profit prison industry?

Guess what motivates their parole committees.

Learning civilized behavioral skills in prison does NOT mean that they will live by civilized behavioral skills once released. They are two very very different worlds.

After decades in the finishing school of an American prison, ask yourself -

Would YOU be comfortable if this guy moved in next door?

Anyone who supports incarceration for victimless criminals doesn’t understand the founding principle of our nation.

Giving the perp a second chance, cheapens the lives of the victim. Too late for the perp.
