Life in a high security prison, or the death penalty?

I see they’ve no death penalty in Turkey, so life for the coup plotters. It’s a toughy, but life in prison actually seems a worse fate to me(particularly as a coup plotter in a Turkish military jail, that’s a grim existence!).

What do you think?

better to be alive than dead.

Glass of whisky and a service revolver would have to be plan-b.

I always think, perhaps naively, that as long as you are alive, there is alway hope for redemption (not in a religious sense) and to make something worthwhile out of your life, so I’d go for a life sentence.
