The fact that you can sit for 20 years on death row means the whole "crime deterrence" argument to the death penalty is bullshit.
You can rot in jail waiting for the state to kill you and when you finally die no one remembers what the charges were that put you there. It's whole point is just added cruelty.
That's the whole conservative argument for it.
That's not the left argument on it, if there's one at all.
