I believe those sentenced to life in prison should simply be executed. CMV.

I honestly believe life sentences in our American prison system is inhumane and cruel. Not only will these people never have a chance to contribute to society, they will never leave their prison with the exception of their death.

I know in the current system that is costs more to execute a prisoner than house them indefinitely because of the extensive appeal process. I believe these appeals should be severely limited for those cases where the evidence is indisputable, for example if there are several different camera shots of a murder being committed along with extensive DNA evidence.

No case is ever totally indisputable.

In America we have executed many people who have later been found innocent, or at least there was a reasonable doubt that they committed the crime.

You have to remember that DNA proves you were there, camera's can show someone who looks like you, and even confessions are extremely untrustworthy. These are far from indisputable evidence. Maybe 99 out of a 100 cases with all of those pieces of evidence are guilty, there is still the 1 out of that 100 that is innocent and could be you.

Since we have so many criminals who are sentenced to life in prison but are then later found innocent it make absolutely no sense to believe that they should be executed. 

Also it is not inhumane or cruel. As our prisoners have the ability to kill themselves. It's not exactly difficult to jump off a high building or tell the wrong gang one thing. If people preferred death they could take that choice.
