"Life in Prison" without parole is an interesting concept. Of course what you are really saying is that the offender will live for anything up to 70+ years off of our society as a tax burden, with no chance whatsoever of being rehabilitated or reintroduced to society.
In some ways, a truly punishing long-term sentence definitely sounds more appealing as a deterrant; however, at what -- $50K/year (I'm not sure of the exact figure) -- per inmate, and no proven evidence that incarceration has ANY impact on crime, what is the point?
