HANOI - Vietnamese prosecutors called on Tuesday for the death penalty to be handed to Truong My Lan, the mastermind of the Southeast Asian nation's largest financial fraud on record, state media said.
You’re not wrong, but at least there’s a chance that they’ll be released, and with therapy they might even have a normal life again some day. If you kill someone, they’re dead. Nothing you can do about it beyond maybe putting an “Oops, our bad, sorry about that” plaque on their headstone.
I will also say that prisons should not be cruel. The role of prisons should be rehabilitation, protection of society from those who can’t be rehabilitated, and lastly (and for once actually least importantly) punishment.

The rehabilitation line is a lie people tell themselves to feel better about being ok with extreme cruelty
there are other countries who have actually worked successfully at rehabilitation rather than the US-based system of ‘revenge as justice’.
lumping everyone in line with the revenge types is an ignorant, immature stance.
Nah. Figures lie and liars figure. These other countries are generally homogenous with very very low poverty
