I *am* genuinely concerned by people who think neither the death penalty nor life imprisonment w/o the possibility of parole should be on the table. Even if a serial child killer *can* be "rehabilitated," exactly how much risk are the most vulnerable families expected to bear?
It never occurred to me that one day I might see blanket-case arguments against permanent incarceration, but I guess this is the fruit that intratribal signal gaming bears. "How woke am I? So woke that not even dead kids can slow *this* woke roll!"

Prisons seem really clearly bad from all angles. They don't rehabilitate effectively, they do ruin lives, and even for the goal of "remove the criminal from society so they can't do harm" they're a really expensive way of doing that. They're also not Lindy!
Ancient punishments that I know of included fines, banishment, corporal punishment, and execution. These all seem more humane than prison!

I think it's an "in principle versus in practice" confusion. In principle, if a person really can be rehabilitated i think they *should* be. In practice given the methods available, people aren't quite malleable enough to provide the assurance you'd need for extreme cases.
I do wonder what happens if we extend life significantly more. At what point do we decide life in prison would be too long? Suddenly "consecutive life sentences" takes on a different meaning. I suspect the main point of divide however is not on the worst offenders but the edges.
There are plenty of perfectly good reasons to oppose the death penalty anyways, such as that we've definitely murdered innocent people.
