Dying Alone


Prison. 

A terrible word.

A word that sends fear throughout some people, a lot of people.

Life sentences.

In some opinions, the worst possible fate.

Some people though get the death penalty. 

The death penalty is wrong.

People do bad things and they have to be punished, yes.

But a killing for a killing?

I don't think so.

Life in prison is much harsher. 

It is the worst possible thing.

You die alone.

And that, is unbearable.
