The point is that "life in prison" as a public safety imperative used to eliminate threats has no reigns. The criminal law generally prohibits undesirable acts. Acts like drunkenness and circumstances like alcoholism, drug addiction, domestic violence, drug trafficking and human trafficking represent a growing and ungovernable threat to public safety. In addition, The world's General Assembly has determined "Heinous, Fast-Growing Crimes of Human, Drug Trafficking will continue to Ravage the World's Economies." Based on your premise, which you haven't been able to qualify in any other way, we should be incarcerating a huge percentage of the population for life, for the sake of public safety alone. un.org Koan: "Life in prison is all one can do logically from an intelligent and humane point of view..."

Koan: Life in prison is all one can do logically from an intelligent and humane point of view... Your logic which meets no other crime criteria except public safety, suggests we should have only one sentence, "life in prison." After all, the statistics from the Ministry of Justice showed that prisoners who were released in 2010 following a short sentence committed a total of 83, 107 crimes. So short term incarceration is a threat to public safety. This is what we are left with when resolution and reconciliation are removed from our criteria to have just outcomes. dailymail.co.uk
