	I don't agree with the death penalty in the United States under any circumstances. Nor do I agree with a punishment of life in prison at hard labor under harsh conditions or the kind of prison conditions that currently exist in most prisons in America. But I do agree under some circumstances of life in prison without any chance of parole under more humane prison conditions.

	I don't agree with the death penalty in the United States under any circumstances. Nor do I agree with life in prison without any chance of parole ever. I believe the possibility of eventual redemptions and return to society should at least be left open as at least a possibility under all circumstances.
