Life without parole can be considered a viable alternative to the death penalty in cases where the goal is to ensure public safety and provide a severe punishment for serious crimes. It eliminates the risk of executing an innocent person while still holding individuals accountable for their actions. However, concerns remain about the cost and the potential lack of opportunities for rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
