	Prison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prisons are conventionally institutions which form part of the criminal justice system of a country, such that imprisonment or incarceration is a legal penalty that may be imposed by the state for the commission of a crime.
		A literal case is where a murderer is punished with the death penalty, the argument being "justice demands a life for a life".
		When long term imprisonment is used in such societies, it may be a virtual death sentence, as the lack of food, sanitation, and medical care causes widespread disease and death, in such prisons.

	Ephilosopher :: Philosophical Ethics Forum :: Is life imprisonment really any different to an execution? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		To me, it seems that all life imprisonment is is a very long method of execution, and it's probably all the more painful for it.
		To quote your original post, "it seems that all life imprisonment is is a very long method of execution, and it's probably all the more painful for it." If the person does have a chance of changing for the better, imprisonment should be a learning curve for them.
		Imprisoning them is wrong as well, because they can kill more people inside the prison, they can escape and kill more people or be paroled because hey, they are getting old and so not really a danger any more, and oops, it happens again...

		Because a sentence of one life term for multiple offenses would have been illegal, the only way the circuit court could have given Barnett what he bargained for was to impose a life term for each class A offense he was convicted of and then run each life term concurrently.
