This feels worse somehow. With the death penalty there is a finality to sentencing, these people are stuck on an ever speeding treadmill of despair chasing hope like it’s a carrot on a string. Even if they get out, due to the conditionality of their original sentence, they can be thrown right back in with the flick of a pen. Like Sisyphus to his boulder these people are bound to sadness perpetually stuck in a state of fear.
Don’t ppl on death row not get an official date for their execution? It was my understanding that it can come at anytime unless they’re currently going through appeals. At least in the US but I’m not 100%
These people are pretty much convicted to die in jail but since it’s not officially Death Penalty or even a Life Sentence, the standard of evidence and possibilities of appeal are much lower, the oversight from external actors (such as the Press or Human Rights Organisations) is comparativelly non-existent, as are side effects with international partners (for example, extradition from many European countries to Britain would be much harder or even impossible if they had the Death Penalty or even a Life Sentence).
This is exactly the kind of way English Politicians and the English Upper Class create rules and pass measures to do pretty cruel things behind a façade which is almost the opposite.
This is the death penalty with extra steps.

^ fewer steps
The death penalty usually requires silly things like trials and burdens of evidence. With this one simple trick you get straight to the “good” part.
More like loophole death penalty:

Just ask the Irish.
It’s the death penalty minus the execution.
This is the death penalty minus a lot of the overhead.
