Life is really 25 years in many places.

Same here and in many countries. That's why you hear the expression "25 to life"

If the prisoner hasn't changed his attitude and commited other crimes after 25 years he will be released. Ofcourse there are exceptions.

Sometimes I think that peoples who did not sign the human rights charters (due to being in a different era or having an autocratic government) are better at making people suffer duly for their crimes than we are. :devroll:

A good example are those "hotel-prisons".

You are missing the point of imprisonement. It is not mean to give the victims revenge, but to make those who committed crimes realise their mistakes, repent and learn to function better in society.
Putting someone in prison as revenge for their victims is barbaric.
This is the opinion of those who invented modern imprisonment.

In barbaric times though, a prisoner who was jailed after being caught molesting a child would never get out of prison by appealing his case based on many little technicalities which constitute today's very exploitable red tape. The village leader would order him punished (could be stoning to death, tearing apart by horses, hanging, fed to lions, etc), without any chance to escape his crimes, unlike what they have today.

Personally though, I think the best process for deciding most solutions is a case-by-case basis rather than applying a one-solution-for-all process.

People are saying the other system is better..trust me it isnt..

People here in India are super jealous of such systems, its not all good and amazing as it seems...

Wanna escape a death sentence?Just keep appealing the same thing over and over and over in the court for 10 years, since theres no limit on number of appeals/denials and you get released after 10 years..
Wanna get someone else a death sentence?Just make some phone calls and have 100k ready..

Theres almost nobody who ever gets out of prison in here, only the rich and powerful do...A supreme court judge himself admitted that approximately 40 percent of all the people doing time in prison are probably innocent.

In barbaric times the village leader would declare them married. Still happens.

SURE! I kill a person and i get imprisoned in a villa look-a-like with free food, gym and etc. Sure, i will learn! I will get out kill another person and get back to the same place, but i dont give a shit! I dont have to pay tax or break my head trying to get something to eat.

That made no sense.. Sorry.

If you do, society is still safe. You will not learn more if you are put on water and bread, only that you do not want to go back...

You do not want to go back, and you know if you commit crimes, you will go back.

That does prevent from comitting crimes.
