^^^Yeah, exactly.

I see what you're getting at, though, aschleman. The families of the people he killed probably wouldn't get any comfort from him being in jail.

I just think that if you're going to be put to death, it's mental anguish, but it's limited. You know when the mental anguish will end. If you're in prison for the rest of your life, you are living, but you're not free, and you know you never will be again. That would mess with my head a lot more than knowing I'm about to die.

I'd take death over life in prison any day. But maybe that's just me.
