What are some of the realistic alternatives to the death penalty?

An alternate to the death penalty would be Life without the possibility of Parole. Life imprisonment is a sentence of imprisonment for a serious crime where the convicted person is to remain in prison for the rest of his or her life. Death does not provide an added level of justice. A prison sentence that does not allow for the possibility of parole accomplishes the same objectives: protecting society from violent criminals and ensuring that every day of a murderer's life is a miserable existence. Check out Death No More: Life without Parole should be new standard in the Dallas Morning News for more information about LWOP.
