I used to be very outspoken on this debate FOR the death penalty. It's one of only a couple of issues I've ever changed my mind on because of a direct debate with another person.

David Milgaard, Guy Morin and how many other people are being let go who've been on death row for years. In my opinion, even ONE mistaken execution is too much. Why? Because it COULD be my son or daughter. What if it was YOUR son or daughter? Would you be willing to sacrifice their life for the "greater cause" KNOWING they were innocent? Would you attend your child's execution and watch the pain on their face as they look into your eyes, or would you simply not go and let them die alone? Noone should have to go through that.

However, in lieu of the death penalty, I believe the prison system should reinstitute the same idea as Alcatraz (only worse) for the most heinous crimes. You live in your 8 x 8 cell (or whatever it is) alone and receive your three square meals a day. That's it. No mail. No visitors other than your lawyers. No TV. No magazines. No yard time. NOTHING. Sit in your cell till the day you day you die.
