Life Sentence: Please let me die, this is terrible

Death Sentence: Don't let me die, this is terrible

[JCG-]

Both are a death sentence because with life in prison there's basically no point of being alive anymore

[StardustAvenger]

Death penalty: the grim reaper will see you now
Life in prison: please wait over there and the grim reaper will get to you when he's ready

You should do a video on a what if they released all prisoners around the world. Pretty interesting if you ask me.

From what I know,
Death sentence means that someone will be executed eventually on a set date
Life in Prison means no chance of getting out of prison no matter what

[sethfreakinrollins]

In my personal opinion, a lifelong sentence in prison is more emotionally and painfully damaging than a death sentence. A lifelong journey inside a cell, locked behind bars, is more painful than a few seconds of physical torture. Unlike the death sentence, life in jail technically means that you can't see the light of freedom for the rest of your existence, whilst the death sentence is just physical torture until you are free of your pain.

Therefore, a more damaging sentence, both mentally, emotionally and psychologically, would be life behind bars, not death.

A death sentence is life sentence, you're in jail for the rest of it

Life in prison sounds like torture, and even when the get it turned over they are still very likely go back to prison

It's a visual learner's dream if they teach like this at school. 😎

This is why instead of doing away with beheadings, we should’ve just made it the norm for them to be done with sharp swords by trained swordsmen.

The main difference between life in prison and the death sentence is if you happen to be found innocent you can be let free if you were put to death they just killed an innocent man. This is what happened with the advancement of DNA testing.

I love how I can retain all information from your videos yet go through 8 hours of school get home and think "...wait what class I got first?"

[djstankdaddy]

Personally I would want death over spending the rest of my life in a cell, the only thing keeping you going is the false hope of maybe getting parole but deep down you know it didn't going to happen.

I used to be on the fence about the death penalty. I think it’s never ok to take away someone’s life, but when I heard of Sylvia Likens’, Junko Furuta, and Kelly Anne Bates’ stories it was very clear to me that the death penalty sometimes is the best and only option.

Death by firing squad is most effective, you feel pain for only for few seconds, it does not require any special preparation and gear unlike like hanging, injection, electric chair... You only take out prisoner somewhere like prison yard or someting like that, fire like maybe 10-30 bullets and he feels pain for only for few seconds and thats it.

[shamrock]

Everyone out here saying they'd rather choose the death sentence forgetting the fact that you have survival instincts and when push comes to shove you'd rather live than not, even if it was prison

The death penalty is punishment for their crimes.
It should not be used as a "deterrent".
