These death penalty level criminals should get rough sentence . Maybe life in solitary.... Idk but they should be stripped of every luxury. Including the luxury to spend time with others
Life in solitary would be cruel and unusual, as well. If I remember correctly the death penalty is not the only thing that we have been holding onto longer than our more developed nation brethren, but also the heavy handed use of solitary confinement. It has been shown to have many ill effects physically, mentally, and emotionally on those that go through it and several organizations, including the UN, are very much against it when discussing human rights.
