    I would be all for it IF it would be carried out swiftly. Which will never happen.

    Yes, there is and will always be a small % of people wrongly convicted who have to die; then it comes down to the question is losing one life worth saving others?

    I do think swift executions would be a deterrent and violent crime levels would drop; however there are many people not afraid to die, to whom this would probably be what they are seeking.

    With that in mind, I propose that instead of being put to death, they are put into extreme torture situations. If you ask someone "not afraid to die" what they are afraid of, I'd wager many say torture or dying in a painful, drawn-out way.

    Extreme torture would likely be a great deterrent and in the unfortunate cases where they have the wrong person, while they will be put through quite an ordeal, they still have a small chance at recovery unlike death.

      i prefer a well run gulag to a death penalty that can kill innocents. there are too many stupid people (OJ verdict) in courtrooms to leave death up to them.

        He actually only worried about winning a hand of poker where someone bet a couple of packs of smokes, so he would have his cigarettes for the week.

          The OJ case had absolutely nothing to do with the jury, and everything to do with a combination of a shitty case put on by the prosecution, allowing Mark Fuhrman to testify, and OJ's defense team doing a magnificent job at raising a reasonable doubt.

              Pretty much. Definitely can't blame the jury.

                Castration would be a bigger deterrent and reduce aggression. One nut for 1st offence. Nobody will risk that.

                  I would probably be for it except that it doesn't work like it should do in practice and it costs more to kill someone then to let them rot behind bars. Probably much harder to live life behind bars then to get executed anyway.

                    You DID read what I wrote, didn't you? I want them to suffer in prison, not read books, watch tv, lift weights, etc. Besides, if "most people that commit capital murder are habitual offenders" then killing them is nothing TO THEM. So having the death penalty means nothing TO THEM. I wonder if having a place where they will have to work and suffer for the rest of their lives would make them think twice. Some maybe, some maybe not, but obviously they are not afraid of the death penalty, according to your statement.

                    By the way, saying I am ignorant because I want them to suffer in jail is just as ignorant as saying "all they do in prison is sell drugs, form gangs, and kill people."

                        The death penalty is the easy way out for the guilty.

                        It degrades the society that commits legal murder...We all end up with blood on our hands.

                        Look at societies that have low crime rates see why....

                        Prevention is the only way forward.

                        Countries that have the death penalty are barbaric.
                        China, Saudia A, Russia, USA etc

                        Society should be above the level of the murderer and the understandable rage of the victim.

                        It is also a problem that the death penalty will always only be for the poor, those who can't afford the lawyer to get them off.

                        Let it be that only murderers murder, and we just stop them from doing it again.

                              If you did the crime you should die. But I've seen too many people released after years in jail for crimes they didn't commit. If in the UK we had a death penalty still, many of those innocent people would be dead. That's just not good enough. I would rather the guilty spend life in prision but live than see one single innocent person die. So for that alone I'm very much against it.

                                Unfortunitley I just can't choose. I am neither for, nor against.
                                On a debate like this, there are simply too many variabes.
                                Just one at the top of my head
                                Why should one murderer die and another murderer live? Who determines these questions?

                                Maybe it depends on what the victims family would like, but that would just bring in a whole range of issues.

                                So meh.
