I've heard little bit of the series Numb3ers but not much else.I am a BIG believer in capital punishment.It would save & prevent danderous convicts from getn back on the streets to harm,kill,rape,rob,& ect.I know this cuz I know ppl that has happened to.Besides if you kill or rape another person you should pay with your life.But thats just me.

it depends on the case of the crime, for example if someone killed off an evil mob boss out of a sense of "justice" should that person be automatically be given a death sentence? tough one

Thats why they have life in prison! ^.^ Ok nothing to be hapy on, its kinda funny how some systems run, such as you can have up to 145 years in prison, how does that work?

yeah I always wondered about that myself...how can someone have 7 life terms?

I guess its to show how horrible their crime was, but I think its a bit excessive...maybe to make whoever the crime was against feel better (family of the victim)?

yeah but life prison sentences do not always work, they are a drain on the taxpayers money (you have to provide prison accomodation and food for the criminal) plus overcrowded prisons is a reason why some criminals are being let out early. Better to execute all the real bad eggs to save others alot of grief and trouble.

yeah that is a very good point, the only bad thing I see are people being executed just because they are running out of space, which might seem far fetched now but who knows

Oops forgot about us hard tax payers ^-^' if only things were not so expensive in the first place, I'll never understand how the economy works, its so confussing.

The sad stories are when the wrong people are sent to prison due to mystaken identity or mixed up DNA samples. Then the real criminal is still out there while someone inocent stays in prison.

Actually, prisions could probably be made self sufficient, growing crops and manufacturing goods and so forth. The government could probably make a lot of money off of them in the process (the whole "paying your debt to society" thing). The problem is that big businesses have filed lawsuits to keep that from happening.

The reason I'm not in favor of the death penalty is that once you do it, you can't take it back. I think if we're going to have a death penalty, we should make it so that the prisioner gets to choose ("OK, you can stay locked up for the rest of your life, or you can be put to death. Your call. Life? Ok. Let us know if you change your mind. Enjoy your cell.")
