The clearest and probably best situation to the problem would seem to be life without parole. The biggest advantage of this system is that it fixes issues with repeat offenders without eliminating the possibility of overturning decisions and executing the innocent. Life without parole means that the sentence is not limited in extent, so convicts will not be re-released into society to wreak havoc. This would also mean that we could be tougher on other violent crimes such as rape by upgrading their sentences, so as to eliminate chances of repeat offenders for these crimes and deter future possible offenders. Life without parole also eliminates the encouragement of killing, retaliation, and violence as a reply to violence in our society Issues with religions and other ethnic or societal groups would not occur because they do not disagree with life sentencing.
In this way Canada would continue to follow international law and be a world forerunner in justice, leaving behind countries such as the United States who prefer to drag themselves down with outdated and traditional methods of punishment.
Killing is no way to deal with our problems, so leave the death penalty out of our society.
