prison sentences...

[slipknotpsycho]

am i the only one, that finds it retarded as fucking hell to sentence a man to multiple life sentences?

first lemme explain for a second... more often then not, when someone gets a life sentence, it's usually 'without the possibility of parole' so, no matter WHAT he does, (legally speaking of course) he will die in that prison.... so wtf is the point of the following life sentences? i could maybe understand if he had a life sentence and say, had to serve 25 for being elligible for parole, the mutliple life sentences could keep him where he belongs on a technicallity...

but really, wtf is the point when his sentence is 'without the possibility of parole'... even if he 'dies' and is brought back to life through medical treatment, he's STILL held in that prison... he goes from that prison to the grave and tha'ts the end of it.... cuz in reality, 'prison break' doesn't happen.. someone MAY escape (and considering how many in the us are improsned it's pretty fucking rare) but they're almost always caught/found dead...

Ya see, if some perverted s.o.b. decides to rape and murder multiple kids or women the bleeding hearts don't think that he should die for it. Instead, to ease their conscience for screwing over the families of the deceased, they say multiple life........like that's really, REALLY bad or something.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

I don't understand when they say "125 years"

They fucker will die in prison so why not say life in prison?

i'm pretty sure but not 100% that life in prison is not actually ur whole life in prison. it is a number... i think 99 years is a life sentence. so theoretically speaking, with great medical advances of course, someone could get life in prison and still be freed after that 99 years if they lived that long. think about how much we have come from 50 years ago. think about how long people will live in another 50 years. no dought life expectancy will increase over the next 50, 75, or 100 years. its just a matter of how much. so i guess giving a multiple life sentence is just a way of reassuring that this guy will not be freed and will get punished to the full extent of the law. ya get me?

its cuz people's sentences can get knocked down a couple years. Saying ridiculous sentence like 150 yrs prevents them from that possibility.

[smoke it]

it is retarded, but our justice system isnt the most logical in the world.

[mattks1]

actually life means 25 years unless its w/out parole like mentioned above

[Gatekeeper777]

first the sentence must be Life without the possibility of parol in order for him to rot away in jail forever, and there are only a few crimes in which that can be enforced, like murder.

now...

Getting sentenced to life means 25 years, (why life is 25 years i donno)
SO A TRIPPLE LIFE SENTANCE IS 25 YEARS X 3 = 75 YEARS.
but the parolee has to be cleared for parole on all 3 sentences.

plus if the criminal gets one life sentence or two life sentences overturned he still has to serve 25 for the third.
parole is rare for a person sentences to life,
thats how some judges sentence people to life plus 5 years.
that dont mean the prison keeps his bones for 5 years after he dies.
that just means he got 25 years minimum plus 5 to the rest of his life maximum.

You do not need to understand it, you only need to accept it.
