I could support life without parole as an alternative to the death sentence if there were really no chance whatsoever of parole, pardon, appeal, etc. If, once the sentence were passed, it could not be changed by any means, including changes to the law or Constitution, then it would be an effective alternative.
It's substantially less humane than just executing someone, IMHO, but we drag out the process so insanely long now that it wouldn't be *that* much worse.
