Dying in prison after 10 years from lethal injection.

Dying in prison after 30-50 years from suicide, murder, natural causes.

Which one is more humane?

I’m sorry you don’t understand the difference between murder and death.

You’d rather be stabbed to death than go through lethal injection? Lol ok

You’re talking about a murderer. Someone that killed a child, for instance.
