The only thing they think is that life imprisoment is a lot worse than a death sentence. Which pisses over the pro-death penalty cause rather comprehensively.
I should imagine they would embrace a lethal injection with great joy.
Fred West and Harold Shipman didn't have much problem with the far more unpleasant slow hanging death did they? They still preferred it to spending their life in prison.
Death is the easy way out for these people, the fact that the would rather die tells you that. Course, some people are too stupid to see that.
Including some murderers who are dragged kicking and screaming to the gallows... Not all see death as the easy way out.
I'm also slightly cynical about whether this chap is for real and whether he'd be writing that letter if there was any chance Italy would reintroduce it. In fact it seems that Italy is going the other way and looking to reform the life sentence so that its shorter.
A model prisoner saying he prefer's death is not just ammunition for anti-death sentence campaigners, but those who support the proposed draft legislation to abolish the life sentence and replace it with a maximum sentence of 30 years.
Maybe they will die a little bit each day, life's a bitch isn't it. They should have thought about it before they did whatever the hell it is they did.
