The Death Penalty

[Vick]

My best 2 arguments for the death penalty have already been made here, my other is tied to the public execution - deterrent


Why should taxpayers support anything in prison for 20 years? Off the top of my head it costs about 30K per year (or more) to house a prisoner x that by 20 years
The taxpayer foots a bill of $600,000 - but we won't spend that much on public education

Can you please see what's wrong there, that is a sincerely screwed priority


Am all in favor of public executions being on pay per view. Let's turn an expense into a profit. If a criminal knows they will fry on TV for all to see do you think that's a deterrent?

I'm ready to go back to penal colonies for hard crimes. These are people with no respect for human life, why do we bother tho respect their's (don't hand me the we are better than that)

I'll admit we also need more education available (and perhaps medical treatments) for all to offset the (what some may see as the) need for anyone to commit heinous crimes
