True, they can never hurt anyone again. But if they're in prison for life, they also can't hurt anyone.

What then happens to the people who've been on death row for 15, 20, 25 years, but have been released and discovered not guilty on DNA evidence? If we'd streamlined the process for them, they would already have been execute, despite being innocent.
