This is one of very few issues I've changed my mind on over the years. I used to be very much FOR the death penalty. But having seen so many people released that may have been executed, I've changed my mind.
HOWEVER, when someone IS convicted of a heinous crime, they do deserve the worst punishment possible. In my eyes, that's bringing back the philosophy of Alcatraz, but taken to the next level. They lose everything. They sit in a tiny cell for the rest of their life. Three square meals a day. But that's it. No visitors. No books. No TV. No yard time. No associating with other prisoners. Absolutely NOTHING. Sit in your cell, eat your three meals a day, and rot until you die.
