Some of you here say a Death Sentence is just a form of revenge, but isn't locking some one up in a 6'x9' cell for the rest of that their natural life and never letting them out revenge also?

No. One is a decision about a persons ability to exist in society. The other is a decision about a persons right to exist at all. Very big difference. Life imprisonment doesn't negate the humans right to life, but the right of the human to exist in the society he/she has damaged. |
