I don’t think I’d (a 34-year old guy) be able to survive 50+ years in prison without severe mental health problems…is it possible for a defendant to request the “easy way” out?

Probably easier to just slap a lifer with your food tray and wait for the inevitable mass ganking.

Just saying. The justice system feels like making someone live 50 years behind bars to be a sufficient punishment for something. If the prisoner hates it, then so much the better. This country’s justice is founded on vengeance and retribution and punishment, not rehabilitation.
