So you don't believe in capital punishment but are accepting of it so
long as it is swift - and you approve of life imprisonment, so long as
it doesn't consist of years of "torturous isolation", in which case
you're instead accepting of the swift execution? Way to stand by that
moral code of yours.
It would seem that you're against what prison system is supposed to
represent, *punishment* of the guilty.
