Recidivism rate for executed criminals is 0%
And? Are you suggesting the government executes everyone accused of crimes? Or convicted? What would that mean for our POTUS?

You do realize that only certain crimes are eligible for the death penalty?
What death penalty eligible crimes has our POTUS been convicted of?

Life without parole isn’t mercy.
And yet, we see murderers like Bryan Khoberger take plea deals to get life without parole instead of the death penalty. Seems that murderers believe it to be mercy.

Your hook is too shiny? Shouldn't you be attaching baseball cards to your spokes?

Right, we can only entertain hypotheticals when they strengthen the bloodthirsty “small-gov conservative” arguments.

What a ridiculous statement. Harsher than what? Of course harsher penalties deters crime, unless you are suggesting that murder should be a misdemeanor or carry no punitive value at all because the severity of punishment is irrelevant.
Is that what you are suggesting?

So are you trying to find fault in what President Trump did?
Isn't that what prisons are for?

Instead of looking at the statistics in an Exel spreadsheet, how about you go learn about their victim(s)
Sometimes a sentence just needs to be punitive.

Nope. No one is suggesting that. You’re right that very light penalties for serious crimes would be a disaster. Nobody here is saying murder should be a misdemeanor or that violent offenders should walk free with no punishment.
What I am saying, supported by decades of research, is that making punishment harsher beyond a baseline doesn’t reduce crime at the community level. What matters is the certainty of consequences (catching and convicting offenders), not just stacking on cruelty or extreme conditions that most people don’t ever notice.
People weight the chance of being apprehended and punished more than the abstract severity of some future sentence they might not even face.

I don’t think that’s anything you’d want to see.

Were the commutations by autopen? If so, challenge their legality.

The baseline just got raised.

What do you believe that would accomplish? How would that help anyone or improve anything?
I didn’t expect this smug sanctimony from you, who doesn’t seem to actually care about these victims anyway.
Invoking victims as a way to shut down analysis doesn’t honor them. It instrumentalizes them. Victims don’t benefit from policy built on rage and sanctimony instead of results.
Caring about victims means caring about what actually reduces the number of future victims. That requires evidence. If refusing to look at data made us safer, we’d have solved crime decades ago.
And spare me the insinuation that policy analysis equals indifference. I care enough about victims to want fewer of them, not just harsher suffering after the fact. Emotional catharsis for observers does nothing for the person who was already harmed.

I'm just wondering why we should care about supposed treatment of the most vile and inhumane humans when they did not care about the inhumane suffering they unleashed on their victims.
When you see and hear shite like 'we're judged on how we treat our prisoners,' you know you're in for a futile argument.
When they help bail out random folks from prison for the hell of it, just to score brownie points from those communities, you know they're just doing shite just to do it.
