This is one reason to support the DP in my opinion. That and the small possibility of escape.
My main reason for being against the DP is because it is not proven to be a deterrent to murder and other vile crimes against persons. Since it does not prevent those crimes, then life in prison performs the same purpose as the DP....it removes the threat from society.
Otherwise, prison removes them from society and I believe that is the purpose of prison...to protect society. (Supposedly it is to rehabilitate but I see a very poor record there).
Great post! I've even seen stories that what felons don't already know, they learn while in prison! Guess it had to happen, since they do intermingle, but I hope it only applies to "lesser" crimes - tips on how to sell street drugs, etc, and not how to rob or murder someone!
