No, automatic appeals make it significantly more expensive than a life sentence.
@928PJ8Q2yrs2Y
No, life in solitary confinement would be a far better deterrent
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Yes, but only with euthanasia that kills instantly.
@6T6Y4L22yrs2Y
Yes, but only for cases involving murder
@WhenDidISayThis2yrs2Y
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, because too many people are innocently convicted. Plus, I think that spending life in prison is a harsher sentence because the dead don't suffer unless their soul was sent to hell that is.
@934R57G2yrs2Y
No, life without parole does the same thing at 1/3 of the costs.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, unprovoked murderers, and anything against animals.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, for those sentenced to life in prison as well as for those sentenced to death, but in both cases, only when further appeal is impossible or not desired.
@92WTP232yrs2Y
No, it would be less expensive to implement life in prison without parole
@8ZYQ3HP2yrs2Y
I believe it should all depend on the person and situation.
@LiamHal786386402yrs2Y
Yes and use it on more criminals to decrease the prison population
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, bring back public executions for those who have raped, done anything gruesome to an animal, or those who have murdered anyone for no reason.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, unprovoked murderers, and anyone who has harmed the weak.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Execute rapists, any unprovoked murders, anything gruesome against animals, and anything against the weak.
@92458D22yrs2Y
The punishment should fit with the crime in which the criminal committed
@ThomasJ2492yrs2Y
Yes, but only for rapists, anything forced sexually, anything against animals, and anything terrorist in nature.
@8ZVZ2J52yrs2Y
Yes, but I think that the death penalty should be an opt-in program for any incarcerated individual who's serving an extended sentence.
@8ZTJN9H2yrs2Y
Yes, but only in cases with sevral murders
@ThomasJ4762yrs2Y
Yes, but only for rapists, unprovoked murders and anything against animals.
@ThomasJJ992yrs2Y
Public executions for those who have done harm to any animal, rapists, unprovoked murders, and any type of money embezzlement.
@ThomasJj882yrs2Y
Sort of. I do not like how the government can execute someone but I do believe that public executions should be brought back. Anyone who has harmed an animal, unprovoked murder, or have raped someone should be publicly hung or shot in the head.
@Thomasjj682yrs2Y
Sort of. I do not like the idea that the government has the capability to execute someone but I do believe that we should bring back public executions for those who have been proven as being a rapist, anything against animals, gruesome attacks, and execute those who have manipulated another.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, any unprovoked murder, anything against animals, and other heinous crimes with absolute evidence.
@8VC7WDN2yrs2Y
Yes, also support bringing back public executions but only for most severe crimes.
@MSmashville2yrs2Y
No, killing someone for any reason other than self-defense is wrong. No matter what they may or may not have done. Especially since a lot of people that have been killed by the state have been confirmed as wrongfully convicted.
@8YPN2V52yrs2Y
Yes, if the person murdered another person on purpose.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, publicly execute rapists, unprovoked murderers, anything against animals and children.
@8YJZQSK2yrs2Y
No, Exodus 20:13 "You shall not kill"
@8YJ6ZGY2yrs2Y
Yes but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence
@6YS83422yrs2Y
Yes, but only for white-collar crimes
@8Y5H9DW2yrs2Y
No, we should be wary of giving the government the power to end the life of its citizens.
@88NZKDZ2yrs2Y
No, it's expensive, authoritarian, and doesn't offer much value
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for the crimes of treason, sedition, espionage, murder, rape, and kidnapping of a minor when it is carried out by way of lethal injection, hanging, firing squad, or gas chamber
@8Y2NH4W2yrs2Y
Yes, but they should get to choose from life time in jail or death penalty and there is enough evidence to prove that they did the crime.
@thomasjj02yrs2Y
Public executions for rapists, anything against animals, and unprovoked murders. Allow the victims family to carry out the execution instead of the state.
@8XQCD4Q2yrs2Y
No, death is always abhorrent.
@8XQ8BHQ2yrs2Y
No, because life in prison is already bad enough sentence \
Deleted2yrs2Y
We need to build a city, preferably in Wyoming or anywhere unpopulated, doesn't really matter, that has all the criminals sent there. 20 Lane highways should be built to LA and NYC to transport criminals. Also a 20 runway airport to transport them.
