people don't get paroled if they are put on death row
and your right, we shouldn't pay for them
it should be like it is in the middle east or asia
grow your own food, coook it yourself, fetch your own water, sit in a cement cell with nothing
you do the crime, you do the time
and why do you think asia and middle east has lower crime rate, because people actually stop and think before comitting a crime because they are afraid of where they will end up
