and how often does it happen?

that's because most of the "criminals" who end in prison are really victims of their society which failed them; their actions are usually impulsive, not calculated, so deterrence is largely useless. True criminals (those who do shit in cold blood for money and power) rarely go to prison.

and yet, how is death sentence any worse than life in prison? if it were me, I'd just want a quick exit rather than rotting in a cage for decades

do you mean flat shapes? do you have any recommendation for learning resources using this method of contour drawing?

I wasted years trying constructional drawing (3d boxes etc) without results.
