I think I'm the only one here that routinely visited jails and prisons.
Cruel is a life in prison.
By the time you die, nobody cares or wants you. They put you in a cardboard box and bury you in the pauper's field with a number tag or in the prison graveyard.
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

If you asked them, would they tell you they'd rather be dead?
Education is extremely important.

This. Life in prison is a pretty severe sentence.

Some do.
Especially at Angola, I used to talk with the cons a lot.

When I was a Reservist there was a meathead (military police) Master Warrant Officer who would drop by our section for coffee and routine gossip with our senior NCO’s. His civi street job, if you want call it that, was a prison guard at the maximum security prison block northwest of the city. He had zero sympathy for the inmates and maintained each and every last one would sooner slit one another’s throat than give them the time of day. He also said they loved to live in their filth out of choice. He also figured the gorilla cage at the Calgary Zoo was more a 1000 times more civilized than even the medium security bloc in the same institution he worked. He loved doing Reservist work because it offered a catharsis from his day job.

A man who was put to death last month in South Carolina’s second firing squad execution was conscious and likely suffered in extreme pain for as long as a minute after the bullets, meant to quickly stop his heart, struck him lower than expected, according to a pathologist hired by his attorneys.

Seems to me the closest thing to humane execution, insofar as that’s not an oxymoron, is lethal injection where the first shot just puts you to sleep.

We don't worry about whether putting dogs to sleep is hurting them, and my assumption is that it doesn't. Most of us probably care a lot more for our dogs than we do for the people being executed in prisons.

NItrogen FTW. LOL
I know a guy who got gassed by it. He was in a refinery in Indonesia and entered a vessel that had high nitrogen. Next thing he knew, he woke up in a hospital in Singapore. Said there was absolutely no sensation of anything wrong. One minute, breathing normally......... and then remembers nothing.
