Pope Francis called for abolition of the death penalty as well as life imprisonment, and denounced what he called a "penal populism" that promises to solve society's problems by punishing crime instead of pursuing social justice. "It is impossible to imagine that states today cannot make use of another means than capital punishment to defend peoples' lives from an unjust aggressor," the pope said Oct. 23 in a meeting with representatives of the International Association of Penal Law. "All Christians and people of good will are thus called today to struggle not only for abolition of the death penalty, whether it be legal or illegal and in all its forms, but also to improve prison conditions, out of respect for the human dignity of persons deprived of their liberty. And this, I connect with life imprisonment," he said. "Life imprisonment is a hidden death penalty." The pope noted that the Vatican recently eliminated life inprisonment from its own penal code.

Liberals feel all morally superior for showing “mercy” to criminals but they totally ignore the thousands of victims they create when the let the violent criminals out of prison. As we fought against this, we learned that most violent criminals re-offend when let out of prison no matter how much was spent on rehab programs.

We reformed liberalism in the courts with mandatory sentencing, which is not perfect, but better that it was when they had total control and killed us without a care.
