This is not political, nor racial, nor religious. Just a good debate.
Our distinguished colleagues from Texas and Connecticut make excellent arguments for each side of this coin. How about a compromise? The death penalty has not proven to be a deterrent. Do you think someone crazy enough to kill his wife and unborn child worries about the punishment? How about the suicide bombers? How do we threaten them? And what if there's a one in a thousand chance the convict didn't do it? You want to explain that to his family? Economic arguments don't wash either, as the mandatory appeals cost the State far more than keeping the lifer. The true purpose of incarceration (or worse) should be to protect society. Removal of freedom and being confined with others 'of his type' is, IMHO, punishment enough. Just keep them in a place where they cannot harm me or mine. Lock 'em up and throw away the key.Military style POW camps with Geneva convention guidelines seem ideal. |
