Having said that I also believe that a life sentence should mean life. It is rather awful that the Ugandan government did not even try to look into the case. I mean, if it is really true that this guy is a fraudster, I wonder what he would do when he is elected president. Chux Ojukwu, UK Society is far too liberal and the punishments convicts receive are far too soft. Mike, England It is my view that the more severe crimes such as Murder, Manslaughter and Rape should be punishable with the Death Penalty when there is indisputable evidence available, such as DNA tests.

Reports of prisoners having Televisions, Gymnasiums and other luxuries that many hard working people can't afford sickens me. Mike, England Look at the actor Leslie Grantham, for example. A former convicted murderer, he is now a major TV star. The whole point of a prison sentence is to make the offender see the error of their ways. If we continue to treat the released offender as outside society then this will only encourage them back to their old ways.
