But the odds of getting released are so low it's not really worth imo. I see life in prison more akin to torture than anything else, which makes it worse than death penalty

I do believe people should have a "choice" (lack of a better term as it not much of a choice) but I am still completely opposed to it as a "punishment"

I am also a supporter of legalized suicide for the general public as well, especially for the terminally ill

I think too that prison makes more sense for keeping physically dangerous people away. And if they don't assault anyone within X years in prison, maybe they're now a bit less dangerous.

Combined with some therapy or something.

But not as punishment.

For me, the main reason to oppose the death penalty is also that innocent people get killed.
