I'm sorry, but if someone kills their family for insurance money they deserve the death penalty. If someone is killed because a criminal doesn't want a witness, they deserve the death penalty. If some child predator rapes and murders a child they deserve the death penalty. I don't agree with the death penalty in cases of circumstantial evidence, or accomplices getting deals to testify against someone. In cases where there is absolutely no doubt, and the crimes meet the states criteria, the death penalty should be applied.

America still enforces its death penalty, yet when I look at various countries there are many who had abolished it. Now the funny thing about this is that many of the countries who had abolished the death penalty have less crime. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Should we be looking into other countries that have the least amount of crime and see what they are doing to help incorporate that idea into our system? Or is it different for this country because of its diverse idealogies? Are you for the death penalty or against it? Tell me why and what should be done to keep a safer country for everyone that lives in it. Be realistic about this. This is no joke. This input could spark a new idea that perhaps a Congressman could even be reading at this moment. Yes I know, this might not be the case, but you never know! What can be done to help keep our streets safer to where the death penalty would never be used in the future? The crime rate is not a reflection of the incarciration or execution of people. It is a reflection of the effectiveness of the policing bodies. For example: Japan, if I recall correctly, doesn't have the death penalty. It does, however, have a 98% conviction rate on those that commit crimes. Compared to America where we only catch approximately 46% of our criminals. In Japan criminals expect to get caught. In America we think we'll get away with it. The two (death penalty and crime rate) are unrelated except by statistics, which, as anyone who ever took statistics can tell you, can be manipulated to say whatever you want. |

These criminals know they get to sit in prison for many years to come still living while their victims are gone and the families are still suffering. What gets me is SOME people are against the death penalty but where is their rage for killing an unborn baby or the most horrendous thing ever in this world...partial birth abortion.  That's a whole other story.

I guess that is why the death penalty will continue to be legal in this country because the majority of the people believe it is justified as oppossed to other countries that have abolished it to where the majority of the people of the country are against it.
Whatever the reasons you have as a individual you will see different nationalities with different philosophies on this intake of crime and the death penalty. In the end what would be interesting to know if the crime rate does go down because people know they could get a death penalty if they did such things as killing, raping, or bombing, or what have you. |

Its amazing how many people in jail are innocent. If you asked 1000 inmates I would be willing to bet 975 will say they didn't do anything. Here is a tip. Don't put yourself in a situation where you might get arrested for not doing anything. |

Our correctional system is a joke.
We convict people to death with a flawed judicial system when they very well could be innocent. Then we use millions of dollars for their continued flawed process of defense costing more than it would to care for them all their lives. To then participate in revenge, an unhealthy mindset at best, to execute in a semi public execution that takes from them something we cannot give back if we are wrong, if they are innocent. It is animalistic, nonproductive and a waste of time and lives and shows that we are still not evolved enough by far intellectualy. |

I heard the correctional system is nothing more then a business for rich entrepreneurs here in America. Is this correct?
or does it truly come out of the pockets of the tax payers? |

So the prison systems in the United States are not privatized at all like some articles and people mention? |
