What is the Longest Possible Prison Sentence for a Single Crime?...
I dunno...people are setting it doesn't matter, but if you think futuristically it may come into play
Not interested. Not a criminal. To me severity of a sentence could be death like done in some countries... Next Week, in the Market Plaza, Beheaded.
When someone is sentenced with multiple life sentences it almost takes away from the severity of the crime (and let's face it, if they're receiving an mls, its pretty bad) and it sounds like a joke.
I'd rather them just day "this jackass is gonna die in a cell guys. It's over" ( obviously with more elegant language)
Being sentenced to like 175 years in jail sounds like a skeleton in shackles.
Till death do you part.
Maybe after you are gone the put in a crypt and put you on display till your sentence expires ?
I've always found it absurd that some sentences are for more than one lifetime.
That's just dumb.
Those ridiculously long sentences make sense when you consider when convicted criminals would be eligible for parole. Not every state offers the possibility of a life without parole sentence.
