At this point if they want to off themselves I suggest we let them. It will reduce the cost and make it safer for the other inmates and guards. People serving life w/o parole are **** to handle with little incentive to 'behave'. I would offer it not as a humanitarian gesture, but to simplify the situation.

But if someone is a mass murderer or serial killer they are removing people from the planet and should be rewarded, right?

There's no need to take a "death pill." Just put em in the general population and refuse them segregation. According to Ben Carson, they'll get their just deserts eh. Up the wazoo...

It will not work anyhow. They will not take the pill in any case. Even the most evolving a life sentence will be working a angle to try to escape to continue doing what they did before.

Giving people a choice like that would help reduce costs of incarcerations.

Because one less person means one less person destroying the planet

Uhm, this is so utterly insane I don't know where to start. GangsterNinja speaks of one less person destroying the planet. That is resoundingly hilarious. So, you obviously promote martial arts in a thug lifestyle based upon your name and your choice of picture. Yet, you speak of destruction of our planet. Oh, wait, you're Australian. That explains it all.

I don't know about you, but I ******* consent was still in the picture. The killer's victims most likely didn't want to die, but some prisoners do. Big difference.

I meant to choose "other". Having served 7 1/2 years on life(before being exonerated and released) I can with authority say the "death pill" would be useless. People that don't want to go on find their own way to *** it. Hanging, diving of the top tier, slashing, forcing the guards to shoot, antagonizing the wrong inmate. By the time someone has served 5 years they have adapted and it doesn't seem so bleak anyway

It would depend on the person serving the sentence,& if they wanted to make that decision clearly knowing full well what they're doing is the right one,& their health & mental state should also be taken into consideration as it would mean the *** of their life,not just the sentence served.
If it was a person who had committed several murders then yes they should be made aware of this right away-not wait-as they are the worst perpetrators especially if the victims were ********/women.

Why wait 5 years???? That's more money / resources utilized for someone who decided that abiding by societies wasn't for him / her. Why not allow them to *** it at the beginning and not delay the inevitable???

1 pill cheaper than supporting a killer 40 odd years

They already can decide their way out - it's called hanging themselves in the dead of night. And that route takes a toll on the prison staff and the other prisoners, unlike physician-******** suicide.

Nope. They don't deserve any help getting out of their punishment.

Physician-******** suicide should always be an option for prisoners sentenced to life (or death, in courts that still carry out the death penalty).
1. It saves taxpayer funds, which makes the pro-death penalty advocates happy...
2. ...without the risk of executing an innocent man, which makes anti-death penalty advocates happy.
3. Guards and other prison staff have less prisoners to manage, and thus safer working conditions.
4. Since guards have less prisoners to manage, and more time and energy to invest in activities that keep other prisoners better occupied from attacking each other, those inmates who will be released someday have safer living conditions and become less likely to recidivate or return to prison after their release. (When about 1 out of 2 ex-convicts recidivates within 3 years of release, this becomes crucial to better prison management.)
5. Prisoners who'd choose to have a physician help them commit suicide, would otherwise try to hang or stab themselves. This means that prison guards don't have to cut down prisoners' hanging bodies (which takes a toll on their psyche)...
6. ...and medical personnel have less patients to treat, and more time and energy to invest in treating their other patients.

By all means. Save the taxpayers money.

every ***** should be allowed to take a death pill if they choose to... but I think those who have committed crimes need to fulfill their sentence first
