The Death Penalty

[Nomad 800]

I think a bigger punishment is having to stay locked up for the rest of your life. Once this person is dead they are not going to care about what theyve done, there dead.

Agreed. Most people who have done hard time would rather be executed then serve a life sentence in solitary confinement. You want to punish them (which is silly anyway. Jail almsot never punishes or rehabilitates. It just hardens criminals and/or protects society)? Lock them away in solitary for life with no chance of parole. It is cheaper then putting them to death in the United States and I guarantee you most of them will take their own lives anyway.
