      Haha, wow. Off by a factor of over two. Actually a bit less than ten years. For voluntary manslaughter it is 2.5 years. For involuntary, 1.5.

      Your position, to the extent you had one, was that reducing length of prison term is good because people serve sentences that are too long. My point was that this analysis is both purely subjective and, as you know nothing about the actual statistics, based on nothing concrete.

      I didn't get my stats wrong. I have proprietary US state-level data on imprisonment in front of me and the median duration for people convicted of first degree murder with no prior convictions and with no additional convictions is ~9.5 years.

      What percent of people convicted of first-degree murder with no prior convictions also have no additional convictions? I keep hearing about charge-stacking, but don't know how common it is.

      Some murderers are the worst of the worst all-around criminals, while other murderers are normally law-abiding but just really really hate this one person. Murderers are a bimodal distribution in terms of recidivism, I suspect.

      Yeah, I'm betting most of the ones I'm catching in my very limited definition are intimate partner murders. Less, "I need to kill this guy to take his drugs," more, "I really don't want to pay this bitch alimony."

      I've seen it argued that we should have short prison sentences for many murderers because they aren't a danger for recidivism: they only just hated one guy, and that guy's not around anymore, so everything is good.

          Our current legal system actually makes many punishments very expensive. One of Mark Kleiman's goals in "When Brute Force Fails" was to push for more consistent use of cheap punishments.

          What's bizarre is that the West prefers lengthy prison terms not for their efficacy but because its culture deems a few whacks with a bamboo cane to be barbaric beyond belief, even if the prisoner would vastly prefer a day's beating over wasting his youth in a cell.

          I do think it's unfortunate we rely less on public punishments, because that could take advantage of salience to get people to overestimate the risk of being caught and punished.
