Id be in favor of it the death penalty if it was cheaper but since its currently cheaper to give criminals life in prison that's my preferred solution.

In my perfect world I'd also cut down maximum prison time to 15 to 20 years. Any duration after that should be the death penalty because IMO after spending that much time in prison the person has little hope of functionally integrating back into society. Much less providing a meaningful contribution.

In your opinion, they have little hope of fully integrating back into society? In what way?

I have never been to prison but would think that given the choice I very well may prefer the death penalty as being more lenient.
