again-i think life in prison is a far worse punishment than death...
if i had someone close to me be a victim of a violent crime or murdered- i would rather pick life in prison as punishment...
My grandfather and I used to get into some serious rows about legalizing the drug trade, he was Chief Superintendent at Graterford Prison...I remember riding around it when i was little and thinking wow..those are machine gun turrets on top of those towers!!!.....
The more I learned on it though, the more i realized it would never happen because of the cottage industry that has sprung up around keeping people in jail....
Think of it: all those people employed at the actual prisons, all the support people to do with the justice system, the entire DEA(who are dirty fucks, i know personally), Police forces and SWAT, all the people who train them, the people who make all the consumables used by said prisoners and all the associated service personel......its a fucking self perpetuating economic monster...The so called War on Drugs has had the most successful dog wagging in recent world history.
Itll never end as long as our vaunted government is profiting off it...and thats that, as they say.

May have been posted awhile ago, but its all good points.
Legend im shocked at you being for the Death Penalty actually.....You do know that a HUGE number a blacks have been killed vs's any other species right? You call that fair and just??
So many killers have been set free from loopholes or even giving parole so many times life in prison doesnt mean crap.
In terms of him winning a stay, I'd say he shouldn't. There's no doubt he has done commendable work since his imprisonment, yet that doesn't make amends to the dead in my view.
There's no doubt our prison system is beyond being fucked up, but I'm definitely not opposed to the death penalty. I don't view it as serving the purpose of being a deterrent, though for some(no matter how minuscule that percentage is) I'm sure it is. I see the situation as him unjustly taking the life of someone as violating their personal rights...as such he forfeited his own.
I say close down one of those carribean resort islands and make it a main prison for prisoners that without a shadow of a doubt have been found guilty...........
actually England did this but now Australia is a country, lol
still it works for me, Hurricane season comes and you have the doors unlock and it's fight to live!!!!!!!!!
you've obviously never been to prison...letme tell you, once you've been in a real maximum security prison and are released you realize 1 thing...you never are going back and even if that means killing someone u would do it...anybody whos spent real time in prison and is released is no longer human...humans cant survive in thereQuote:

I stopped reading at that point!
Ya know, Ive always thought that JWBL.....You have two separate sentences....One for offenders that deserve a 2nd chance and may be rehabbed, and the other sentence reserved for people whove done the most heinous fucked up acts...
Build a huge prison somewhere out in the islands or even out in the unused reaches out west. Put a 100' wall around the mini-town and just let the fuckers go native....Air drop in supplies and have the Navy/Army camp on it....One way in, one way out...
Ahhh..okay so you read about 9 sentences which you probably didnt understand anyway......NM dude....your just not getting it.
