For accidental deaths, no. You accidentally run over a person who runs out in front of your car, there should be punishment if you were negligent, but they shouldn't put you away forever. Drunk when it happened? Increased sentence. Not drunk and in bad driving conditions? Decreased sentence. Bad things happen. But I do believe that if someone intentionally kills another person on the street without provocation, then yes, that person should live the rest of their life in jail. The dead person never comes back to life, their family has to deal with the loss for the rest of their lives. Why should the murderer get to move on? I know that seems harsh, but it's how I feel.
