Who gave you the drugs 04 06 2023

 They won't tell will they.  That is why it has proliferated.

And I wouldn't think of torturing anyone.  And it is indeed illegal per the Constitution, as it should be.

But what about this.  A sentence whereby someone is put in jail until they tell you what you need to know concerning the crime?

When you know that they know, but they won't tell.  And the severity of the crime is such that they could conceivably be in there a lifetime.

So the idea here is finding legal ways to break the silence code of organized crime.

So another type of sentencing could be, "You are sentenced to life in prison, however if we can no longer afford to keep you there or no longer have the competent people to staff the prison or there is a natural disaster whereby you are the last type of person we want roaming free to loot, rape and kill, then that sentence will be considered re-upgraded to the death penalty.  But in order to do that it has to be the death penalty as the original sentence.  So it should be worded that way.

And here is something interesting.  A person is given 6 lifetime sentences.  What does that really imply to mean that isn't completely true?  It implies to mean that they are to die in prison.  But that can always be commuted or even pardoned at the highest level?  Even the death penalty can.

But instead of making it 6 lifetime sentences or 20 or 30 lifetime sentences how about, "you are to die in prison" sentence?

So they get to live and breath, but they will never be free?  I think the humane thing to do is give them the death penalty.

And what about falsified evidence found or new person confessed to that crime etc etc.  In this day and age we should have more certitude and less corruption than that present.  So in order to combat that you have to be able to live with the fact that you gave an innocent person the death penalty upon retrospect.  And because you have to live with that the level of certitude upon conviction and sentencing is increased to a higher level in the future?

And we live with that false emotional construct already.  We are already willing to live with mistakes made by drunks who kill people on the road.  Somehow we are able to wipe our conscious clean of that every time it happens and it happens a lot.  And those were innocent people who died.  And it happens quite a bit.

So think of that in abstract terms as being a National Conscience.  Which direction of the two mentioned ideas about that it was related to above should prevail?

"I am in here for a life time."

"By chance did they ask you a question that you refused to answer pertaining to other parties involved and profiting from the crime?"

And instead of saying that a lifetime in prison is predefined by a standard set of years.  Why not make it true to what the life expectancy of that person would be in their own homeland or perhaps based on genetic profile predispositions to disease?  At which point they didn't answer the question the sentence really is worded as having been the death penalty.
