Summary
President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life without parole, sparing all but three convicted of high-profile mass killings.
Biden framed the decision as a moral stance against federal executions, citing his legal background and belief in the dignity of human life.
Donald Trump criticized the move as senseless, vowing to reinstate the death penalty.
Reactions were mixed: some victims’ families condemned Biden, while others supported his decision. Human rights groups praised it as a significant step against capital punishment.
How about we put you in a cell, and then murder you, and you can tell us which is worse.
I’m assuming you’re religious? The more religious a person is the less they seem to value human life.
Eww no I’m not religious.
99% of people in American prisons don’t need to be there. Because a humane system would focus on reforming them instead of just punishment.
The people on death row are deemed impossible to reform.
But since the system is based on suffering instead of reform it would make sense to make the unreformable suffer the most, which it’s debatable if that’s the death penalty or life in a cell.
