One must always view the constitutionality of the crime, not just the moral theme. |

On issues of humanity can be a very long time to talk. Both sides have a lot of PROS and Cons, which at the right time can be given for strong arguments. My personal opinion is a necessary measure for some States that spend millions of dollars to maintain such places. |

As the country is shocked by another messed up execution, a capital barrier legal advisor in Texas, a lawful researcher in New York, and the previous superintendent of San Quentin conflict with the death penalty. But its good time to check my these Status for Whatsapp and share as much as you can. Thanks |

As the country is shocked by another messed up execution, a capital barrier legal advisor in Texas, a lawful researcher in New York, and the previous superintendent of San Quentin conflict with the death penalty. There were just three individuals in the room: Jeanne Woodford, the clergyman, and the man tied to a gurney with tubes leaving his arms. Subsequent to hearing the man’s last words, Woodford flagged the prison guard who was “working the chemicals,” which implies in jail patois that he began imbuements of deadly chemicals that streamed into the man on the gurney. As superintendent of California’s San Quentin, Woodford directed this cutting edge custom of discipline four times. After a stretch as Executive Director of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, she quit to end up plainly Executive Director of Death Penalty Focus, the abolitionist association that supported the 2012 SAFE choice trying to supplant capital punishment with existence without any chance to appeal. In spite of the fact that the submission neglected to pass, Woodford is still working diligently in the development to cancel the death penalty in California.You also get this through Research paper outline |

Well I do not see men in orange working around town and know most prisons would rather cut guards they pay for them to supervise community service. |

Campi, The military used to use prisoners for things like cleaning up highways. Ft. Riley had a place called a Retrain Brigade. This was like the last chance before Leavenworth prison. I have seen them out picking up trash along the highways and there was always an MP car there and an MP or 2 usually with shotguns. Sadly, I guess part of the new Army, they closed it down several years ago. I cannot say how effective it was, but I do know those boys weren’t molly coddled. Someone told me they were only allowed to go out 5 miles from post, but I saw them a lot farther out than that. Once they were dropped off, they went out and cleaned the highways of trash and when they were done, a truck came and got them and took them back. |

Well I still think taking an island and letting them loose there while guarding the waters would be a good solution. If they live or die would not matter as long as they do it on their island let them come up with their rules and own society and have cameras on the island so that we can not only monitor them but also broadcast it as a form of big brother or some kind of reality TV show. Then every month air drop in supplies. This would be very cost effective after the facility is acquired and the only upkeep costs would be the security. Then every country from around the world could place their condemned here and we would split the costs so many ways that they would be a fraction of what the current cost is. We could brain storm all day long but sadly until there is clear unwavering discipline given across the board that disregards race, social status, or influence dealing out punishment will be unjust. Then until we catch every criminal for every crime the justice system will not be a true deterrent because people will think they can get away with whatever they are planning and or just plan better. The death penalty should be given out for EVERY murder that can be proven 100% and then any other suspected murder or man slaughter should be given a flat time like 50 years. Then while we are on the subject the current prison system is a joke it’s a place to store people away from others. They need to be made to contribute to society in some way while the tax payers are footing the bill. They should use them to tear down derelict buildings and clean streets. They should do the jobs everyone says needs done around the town but the cities say they just don’t have the man power. |

The sad truth is no matter what method people will try to find a fault or flaw and will appeal and drag out their death because let’s face it. I would too. I do not fear death but I do not seek it either. I have heard and seen many ways people have been put to death over my studies of history and my years of reading pretty much whatever I can get my hands on. There is no real way to kill anything that cannot be contested as cruel just because the definition of the word and that fact that having your life snuffed out before natural death is something no one wants done onto themselves. Sadly the world we live in one must take life to keep theirs going. Some argue that’s its possible going vegan but you kill the plant to eat it or even if you eat only fruits and nuts your ending the life that could of been of a potential plant. We can justify killing lesser animals and plants easily. Killing another of our own species gets into not only psychological but also spiritual issues that bring peoples reality into question. When you start mixing in beliefs and religion you enter into areas where people will fight and get violent even kill in the name of (kinda funny no?). So when dealing with an issue like this no one will agree and the only thing left is compromise which will leave both parties unhappy. This debate will go on for as long as life itself still takes place. Sadly I can see both sides of the coin and sadly neither is right. Putting a man/woman in jail for the rest of their life is basically killing them. Then they are just a burden on society. There is no good answer and I thought about typing out the arguments myself so I wouldn’t have to listen to them again but open dialogue is good. So I am for death penalty and say that if it is proven 100% guilty with undeniable proof such as unaltered video or untainted triple checked forensics they should have a death house at the court house and all should get the same punishment no exceptions, no excuses, no mitigating circumstances. But the truth is as long as people control anything it will become either corrupt or unjust and we are left with the mess we have before us now. |

Campi, not a bad idea! I see you are one of those people who puts a lot of thought into things! |

Well the issue seems to be the method is too complicated. Lethal injection should be done away with. Go to a guaranteed death that can’t be messed up. Put a large stone block weighing oww I would say 10 tons. Place it 100 foot in the air on some steel guides. Then place a large steel plate under it that is a foot thick with straps to hold the condemned in place. Then have a simple mechanism that drops it like a crane. Then place the condemned in let the block loose and stand behind the plastic shields. This method though barbaric would cause instantaneous death and is no more cruel or unusual then lethal injections, firing squad, or gas chamber. This method in fact would be so fast it might even boarder on painless. And if that not good enough put a few drops of acid in their mouth and let them trip like crazy before we drop the rock. Also make it a public event. |

With all the crap going on about how long the guy in Oklahoma took to die, lethal injection is a hot topic. However, they issued are all screwed up. First off, it was not the drugs that didn’t work. The catheter came out of the vein and infiltrated. This is the fault of the person starting the IV, not the drug. I spent 6 years as an EMT-I/D. Secondly, I do not feel sorry for these people, how sorry did they feel for their victims? If all else fails, do like Wyoming, Utah, and a couple of other states are doing and go back to firing squad. I do agree about cruel and unusual punishment not being used, but it does not mean painless. If they suffer a little bit, who cares? |

Transporter, Unless we come up with a way to expedite our “cooking process”, that inmate will be a drain on the system for the next 15-30 years. Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to society to make use of that inmate and defer the cost? Inmates are a drain on the tax base, they serve no other purpose than to bleed the system and soak up resources, why not make them earn their keep so to speak? Jail has become to posh in my humble opinion these days, what is the deterent? TVs, Commissary, College degrees…. hell I can’t afford to go back to college right now, but if I played my cards right, I could get a good attorney, commit a non violent crime, get sent to the right institution and walk out with a degree. I say put them to work. Not answering phone banks or making shampoo, but real honest to god labor in the middle of the desert. |

George I have to decline the solar city idea. Sorry. UNLESS we can harness that power to fry the scumbags who are on death row! THAT would be OK I suppose. |

They still have chain gangs in Georgia and Alabama. I met an officer from Georgia who came to transport an inmate we captured back to serve his sentence. This officer came into the sallyport then secured his special 10 inch S&W .50 cal pistol. He had a station wagon. We signed the papers for transfer back to Georgia. He told the inmate to go to the bathroom because we “ain’t stopping son.” So he takes the inmate places him on his back in the station wagon handcuffed spread eagle style with feet chained to the floor as well. Said, “ok son here we go.” |

I have considered this conundrum on countless occassions: My solution is simple and kills two bird with one stone. Take all the prisoners (with life sentences, 10+ years) in CA, AZ, UT, NM and NV, and train them to install and maintain solar panels. Have them install those solar panels in the middle of death valley. The solar farm would be a hundred miles by a hundred miles wide. That much solar energy would produce a minimum of half the US energy needs. The prisoners would work from their own “Cities” out in the desert, Minimal security would be required due to the climate of the desert anyhow. Tens of miles could be guarded by one guard using infra-red and seismic devices around the “City” perimiter. The prison would essentially be a semblance of normality with a store, plenty of off time activities to keep the inmates occupied between shifts. Inmates in the desert City would be afforded some liberties normal inmates would not get, but the payoff for the rest of civilization would be ten fold. Would I commute a death sentence for hard labor in the desert, sure, without a doubt. Is it cruel and unusual punishment? I suppose that would be up to the inmate. A life of work and purpose or the needle, take your pick. |

I’m gonna go home and work on attaching a generator to an old exercise bike, Corner the market, and make a fortune. Early retirement here I come!!! Must say I do like the whole balancing punishment with the crime idea. Truth of it really is very little actually qualifies as “cruel” or “unusual” in the way of crime and punishment. Death by hanging, firing squad, lethal injection if done right happens fast. Sorry thats NOT cruel. Now waterboarding, thats cruel. Bamboo shoots under the fingernails, thats cruel. Bludgeoning someone with a tire iron, thats cruel. Unusual is anything out of the norm. So thats a gray area that isn’t very dependable way to judge legal matters. Being the victim of a crime and living in fear with a feeling of being vicimized the rest of your life. Well now thats both cruel and unusual but seems like nobody cares about the victims. |

We need to amend the constitution to read as fallows. “In the case of capital punishment the plaintiff if found guilty is subject to no more cruel or unusual punishment then up to the extent at which the victim suffered caused by the direct or indirect actions of the plaintiff" |
