I have always been of the opinion that sitting and thinking about what you did, is far worse then being killed.
Perhaps, but then the argument against the death penalty becomes moot. Anti DP advocates seem to like to focus on how cruel the DP is, so saying imprisonment is WORSE kind of nullifies that argument, wouldn't you say.
Besides, what good will it do for a prisoner who would have qualified for death to sit and stew about his crime. He's never getting out of prison anyway.

Now if they happen to be enjoying Prison by any means, now that needs to be fixed. Prison is not correction, it's punishment.
Sometimes it's neither. Look up Richard Speck and check out the last years of his life in prison.


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
