the Death Penalty

[Ivramire]

so you kill someone... so they kill you...

I'd like to know how this works.


The Death-Penalty would not be needed in a perfect world. Even the threat of life-imprisonment and detainment isn't enough for some people. If you ask who we are to decide who lives and dies, then you clearly haven't absorbed the scope of the crimes the Death-Row inmates commit.


Some people just cannot be accepted into society. There are some crimes for which even life isn't enough. It may sound inhumane, but why waste everyone's time and money on keeping someone alive but forever locked away? I'm sure that if you asked some people facing the rest of their lives in jail, death would be a mercy.

I heard each in-mate costs around $40,000. Dunno if its montly or yearly. Either way, thats a lot x.x

no way! it cost a person's salary to keep a prisoner? Gosh surely their live spending shouldnt be more than how much us crime-free people earn and spend on ourselves...

then it makes me wonder how much it cost to give someone a death sentence.. does all the cost come from the legal and court fees to determine the death sentence? or is it.. really the physical cost for the procedure...
