With the additional sad irony that given ten to 30 years there, some
few of the people on Death Row actually seem to rehabilitate to some
extent. How many of those are play-acting, hoping for a pardon, is
impossible to tell.

People's "natures" seem to be at least somewhat multifaceted, even if
that's purely stochastic.
