    Yes, since there have abolished hanging, that way you may have a natural death. Otherwise, you may be shot by a drunkard's pistol- welded in the mid of the night inside the prison.

    It is reasonable to reduce their long-term jail sentences when some murderers get amnesty due to affiiliations.

    Each one of them is a killer, if anyone confronts them their instinct would be to kill. So, what is the best way to deal with them instead of cruelly locking them up for the rest of their lives. One good possibility is to follow what Britain did 150 years ago by creating an “ Australia” in some uninhabited island like Katchaitivu and dump them there with minimal support, and declare an exclusive zone surrounding the island maintained by satellite surveillance and dedicate Naval patrols.
