I'm torn on this issue. I used to think the death penalty was the right thing to do. But is it really barbaric to slip a needle in someone's arm and let them quickly fall asleep? How fair is it that they get to know how they will die and it will not be a violent death?
I think prisons, from what I know of them, should be changed. I dont think they should get tv or computer access. Prisoners should be forced to do hard labor from waking till bed time. They shouldnt be able to smuggle anything in, like drugs for example. Particularly murderers, serial killers...shouldnt be allowed to get mail from obsessed "fans" or from anyone for that matter. They should not get anything that's nice or comforting like tv or dessert, make them eat brussel sprouts and liver. If we are christians, arent we not supposed to kill? It's funny how sometimes the bible is the be all end all and sometimes it's thrown out the window.
I say keep em locked up and make their lives miserable. Force them to get an education. What if the only books they had access to were textbooks?
Make them clean hospital bedpans, clean up crime scenes, pick up after dogs, all the gross stuff that people who never killed anyone dont want to do.
I really dont know what to say except, with a little imagination, I bet there are other options.
