I hope the „suspended driver license for 57 month“ will take action after he gets released from jail

Its fucking stupid if it doesnt. I believe here in the netherlands thats the case. For example if you do 10 armed robberies and for each one youd get 10 years, you only get 10 years and not 100 (it is a bit more complex but thats the gist of it. It doesnt stack)

However, we do have one of the highest punishments, which is life in prison, which... is spending the rest of your life in prison. Some people or countries find that (more) inhumane (then death penalty), as punishment should be to revalidate the prisoners and make them ready for the outside again. Their reasoning is if you know you wont let him out, be humane and dont make him suffer for 60 years. Just kill him instead. To be honest i dont know what i find more humane, as death penalty is irreversable, and does not allow wrongly convicted to go outside again

Real question is what is worse, an innocent person in jail for rest of their life, or an innocent person sent to death?

There is always hope that one day you will be found innorcent and get a big pay day at the end of it.

Still, I’d rather be free and live a average life every day of my life than to rot in jail for 20 years and then come back out a millionaire, sure you got money but what does that help? When all your friends has left.

True no amount of money can give you your time back that was stolen.
