And i was simply saying that Freedom is ALSO more precious than we believe, which is why i was saying being locked up for life is very much a very cruel thing. Knowing you will be in prison until you die is cruelty i believe. and the longer you live, the more cruel it becomes.

A couple of posts up, you wanted society protecting from murderers, by murdering them back. Now you are saying it is inhumane to lock up prisoners until they die in order to protect society.
That logic seems flawed and contradictory to me.
