The death penalty is fine where it's at and I support it. It could be a lot cheaper and time-saving if it consisted with a single round in the accused's head. Firing Squad is what I advocate but even then, you dont need 4-5 people.
Wouldn't those guys in jail have found jobs and stayed out of jail, if there were jobs?
I guess Walmart or any other major monopoly that cashes in on cheap labor would totally be for putting prisoners to work, but anyone else it takes away all their jobs.
It's the monopoly hammering people on all sides, and the government hitting them on several other, plus taking jobs from them.
I don't know about the killing stuff. Life must be pretty good on the inside, where there is some sort of stability, and quality of life outweighs the fear or depression of ending it. However, I've never gone to jail, and plan on never going to jail.
by The DoctorSo I see the little jihadist Boston bomber got the death penalty yesterday. What say you about that? If it was you would you rather get the DP or life in prison? I think I'd rather die than do life in prison.
Death as punishment will deter criminals if swift (it is not). Perfect scenario: guy knows he will instantly die when taking life. Criminals do not think they will get caught when committing crime because they have and/or form a plan to escape and/or cover tracks. Therefore, the victim should have rights to profess what action best gives them peace.
Life in prison varies from state to state.
It is very possible for someone to receive a life in prison sentence and be out of prison in 30 years.
Now life in prison without the possibility for parole can extend up to 80 years depending on many variables. Like education. Someone with a college education will do less time than someone with a GED, under the same circumstances.
Like someone already mentioned. Death row is a joke, because of appeals and loop holes in the law. Most convicts will die of natural causes before they are even put to death. Unless the convict doesn't choose to play the game and they have been deemed mentally able to make there own decisions and wish to die.
Then the individuals death sentence will go forward as planed.
I for one believe that you should be taken out back and shot in the head until you are pronounced dead.
