Now here’s the interesting thing. In one of Stalin’s Soviet Constitutions, any prison sentence over 10 years was prohibited. It would be too cruel to keep a person imprisoned for that long!
So any crime worthy of more than 10 years imprisonment became a capital offense instead. Maybe Uncle Joe was on to something there.
Long sentences are also cruel and unusual punishment of the victims and their families.
