Fuck the death penalty for one simple reason, death is a simple escape.
I would much rather be killed by lethal injection stabbed into me 19 times then die rotting in a jail cell while constantly having to look over my shoulder to see if bubba wants some midnight loving.
^ yeah but prison isnt like it used to be. Nowadays its a hell of alot better.
I guess that is bound to start a discussion on the Nuremburg trials. I'll just leave that to the rest of you guys cuz im tired.Quote:

One of my favorites.
Also, people need to be ore sypathetic towards people. Rent the woodsman and see what these people go through. Having to think about what youve done for years in prison is punsihment enough for most people and it doesnt have to lead to death.
And no, i am not a pedophile.
And come on. You cant convict someone based soley on the testimony of a four year old. Thats just rediculous. You wouldnt take testimony from a retarted adult so why take it form a four year old?
I disagree. Prisons are way over-filled in the US nowadays--there's a lot more gang violence than there used to be.Quote:

We have plenty of room in our prisons for criminals to be reformed (or else contained where they can't do any more harm), or at least, we would have enough room, if not for all the people in prison over marijuana and other non-violent drug-related charges.
I think it's time our justice system rethinks its priorities.
psh the reforming everyone speaks so damn highly about is failing horribly. Obviously you havent been locked up. 99 percent of those losers should be shot on site and save the tax payers a shit load of money. Every one of the people I was locked up with when I was 15 are now knocked up, on welfare, doing hard ass drugs like heroin and meth. Reform? Shit, most of these people dont want help, and you cant help those who cant even admit they have a problem.
99% of what losers? The prison population?Quote:

However, I do agree that prison does not help very many people reform. The people who are usually reformed are the people sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
But haven't we all gone off-topic? ;)
No that was my point. The percent of people there for shit like pot offenses and people who want to change (like I did) are the only people there that are decent. All the other people are freaking crazy and hopeless! They get out of the prisons to reoffend or to go on welfare or whatever. Those are the people who should be taken out. All they are is a cancer on society.
