Is it wrong that murders usualy do not get life in prison?

Is it wrong that most of the time, murderers do not get life sentences. Is it unfair that if you take a life, you should pay with your own.

If you kill someone, I believe you should pay with your life, behind bars. I believe that they should not be able to kill again and that justice prevails.

Most murderers do get life in prison.

Life in prison is not an eye for an eye.

Prison could be worse than death. Its a death of persons mental health by social isolation or extreme stress. Its more like prolonged torture. As for changing, nobody rehabilitates them so they cant or probably wont just change without help.

"As for changing, nobody rehabilitates them so they cant or probably wont just change without help."

Surely that just means we need to focus more on trying to rehabilitate them? I mean sure it'd be easier to execute criminals above a certain severity, but that doesn't mean it's the right choice

Well as for rehabilitation its about psychological counseling and teaching them socializing,work etc. most of courts just throw them in a cell and let them think what bad things they did, come to a conclusion and make a change in themselves. but probably this hasnt worked as well, because most of them are mentally ill or dont have any psychological skills to manage their behavior. So they get out and continue the same way they know best.

yes it is they should get life in prison so they cannot murder anyone again and so they get what they deserve.

Absolutely! If you take a life, your life should be taken away as well.

I think it's wrong that the prison system does nothing to rehabilitate anybody.

Side: No, They can Change

Rehabilitation > Execution/life imprisonment

It's cheaper than life imprisonment, morally superior to execution, and generates more skilled labor jobs than simple incarceration.
