TASK DEFINITION: We would like you to classify each of the following sets of argument pairs (discussing Death Penalty)  into either SIMILAR or NOT SIMILAR. A pair of arguments is considered SIMILAR if the arguments are about the same FACET (making the same argument), and is considered NOT SIMILAR if they do not have the same FACET. A FACET is a low level issue that often reoccurs in many arguments in support of the author's stance or in attacking the other author's position.
PROBLEM: Sent1: I think that criminals view the death penalty as worse than life imprisonment and worse than temporary solitary confinement within life imprisonment - at least given the conditions in American prisons.
 Sent2: I guess the question begs to be asked to my friends on the left is If life in prisonment is so much worse then the death penalty why do you think most prisoners on death row would choose that option?

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Only .06% of people who have killed kill again when they escape, are released, etc.
 Sent2: What if they don't kill anyone in their escape attempt?

SOLUTION: Similar

PROBLEM: Sent1: Saying the death penalty is a justified method of punishment for a crime just because the criminal is a killer himself is a completely contrived reason.
 Sent2: Is it reason to do away with the death penalty?

SOLUTION:
Not similar
