+632 There really is no reason to sentence a prisoner to another life sentence if they kill another inmate; I mean they're not going anywhere. At that point it's probably more about bragging rights. "What, you have one life sentence? Pshh, I have three", amirite?

A life sentence is only 20 to 25 years. Kinda misleading isn't it?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Wow, really? That's pretty ridiculous; I wasn't aware that people only lived 20-25 years.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I know, right?

Where did you get the information that 20-25 years is a life sentence, I've only seen that it is an actual LIFE sentence. Also, I figured the reasoning for giving multiple life sentences was to take away the factor of one of them being appealed and therefore letting the person go free.

I've heard people say it and I Googled it before I posted that comment. It could also vary from state to state but in America, it's typically 20 to 25. So two sentences would be 40 to 50 years.

I'm from the states, and I do believe that Penguinn is right.

Actually no. Most life sentences are meant to destroy a man's life more than actually keep him until death.

After 25 years you can appeal to get it shortened...its still life.

Thats just blatantly wrong.

It's usually called 25 to life. Sometimes they say life, but most of the time you can get an appeal after 25 years.

Which is what capital punishment should be placed in all states. So those motherfuckers don't have to brag about that shit.

Well actually, it can affect how long you stay in prison. If it is decided that you get the death penalty, you will, obviously, be executed. However, it is possible to survive an execution (it sounds weird but it can happen). If that happens and you only had one life sentence, you're free to go. If you have another, you go back to prison.

There's a difference between multiple life sentences and death penalty. And obviously if you multiply something (like a life sentence) times any number, it will affect how long the life sentence is.

What I mean is if you are sent to prison for one crime on a life sentence, then later you are found guilty of a different crime and are given the death, you lose the life sentence and are set free if you survive the execution. If you have another life sentence, you must continue serving it.

Fun fact: Dudley Wayne Kyzer was sentenced to imprisonment for 10,000 years in 1981 for having brutally killed his wife.

Do you always just Google random keywords from the POTD just to have something to say?

no, acksh, i usually just see an opportunity for humor or more debate, and then research that to see if i can make it funnier or more interesting

So I was right. You find a good post, can't think of anything, so you resort to google doing the work for you. d

Nack, it's hard work. Somedays I'll sit for an hour and a half trying to come up with a good comment. Sometimes I have to surf the net and sometimes I have to make something up. Either way, it's tough.

And what the hell is "acksh"? And why can't you express your views in words rather than screencaps? And why can't you just not comment when you have nothing to say?

short for "actually" (in hipster) a picture's worth a thousand words i think it's fun, challenging, and rewarding to love-grub

Oh, I thought it was short for "actually" in 12-year-old. But continue to attention-whore around. It's none of my business. y

It can also be used to intimidate the others. My uncle had 12 life sentences and he said all of the other prisoners stayed away from him.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, that's probably the reasoning behind it. "Here, I'll give you FOUR life sentences so the other inmates aren't mean to you!"

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I never said that was the reason they got them, just another use besides bragging.

That came out a little bitcher than I had intended, I was joking.
