Why can't they do both?

How long are most people on Death row before they're killed? Years right? Surely they can be butt****ed by the other inmates before they're killed.

EDIT- Or is death row like solitary confinement?

Robtard
I believe death row inmates are one per cell and get very little free time.

Impediment is in the penal business, he'd know for certain.

Death Row inmates are considered as ad seg (administrative segregation) inmates. This means that they stay in their cell 23 hours a day with 1 hour of recreation a day, beit outside rec with sports equipment/free weights or dayroom rec watching t.v and such. There is only 1 inmate per house. They eat, sleep, and shit in their house (that's what we call a cell in this business) and are allowed to smoke tobacco for some reason. I guess it is supposed to "allow for a non-stressful environment", whatever the f*ck that means. And the Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice does not allow inmates to have conjugal visits.

D.R. inmates, at least the ones that I have encountered, are ultra-religious. It's funny to me, and not because I'm an atheist, that people turn to religion when it's certain that they're gonna die and see what is really after life. They never want to act this way when they still have an opportunity for a free life.

Oh, well.

I am also, very much, pro-death penalty.

How people can be pro death penalty in the way it is practiced in the US is beyond me. I think there should be a vote and only those voting pro death penalty can be sentenced to it. Seems fair.

I guess I'm of the belief that a horrible excuse for a human who rapes adolescent children and destroys their innocence and scars them for life needs to be beaten with rubber hoses, have his penis cut off, and then shot. ermmsrug

What exactly do you mean by "way it is practiced in the US", because there are countries who kill for lesser reasons and in less humane ways, if you were indeed saying US = Barbaric.

dadudemon
Bardock, Impediment feels so strong about this because he was around them AND being a father can change the way you feel about these people. If some a**hole molested or killed one of my children, I would want to personally beat the shit out of that person and maybe even kill them if my child's life ended in a horrible way. According to my religion, it wouldn't be "shedding innocent blood" so I wouldn't get in THAT much trouble with my God for it. shifty

When it gets personal, it becomes harder to think straight or rationally take action. Its easy for me to say, "Put them through the system and give 'em life in prison."

I was just curious if that is what you meant.

Another question, as far as your ethics of "not killing people", how ethical is it to lock a person up in a small cell until they die? It could be argued that being caged forever is far worse than death.

If I wasn't a father, I would still feel the same way. However, I agree with dadudemon's statement about how it's easy to see things from a different angle when you are, in fact, a parent.

And I'd give every person in this world the choice to be assisted in killing themselves if they don't want to endure it (or anything).

How many people do you think would honestly prefer the death penalty for themselves than the being locked up?

Yeah, also logical. I don't deny that I might wish for vengeance if a I or a person dear to me got wronged, it does not change the truth of the matter though. I might want people to be killed in my wrath, but it doesn't make it right or intelligent. How am I different to them if I kill or let kill them when they are harmless?

I think he should have the same thing done to him as he did to those children. It's sad that kids cant even play outside without some sick f*ck staring at them. Anybody, man or woman, that does this kind of sh*t to an innocent child deserves to die.

I've never agreed with the government having the power to take away someones life. The whole point of the prison system is to keep threats to society away from that which they are a threat to. What exact reasons are there to kill someone for committing crimes? Revenge, that's all it boils down to, that's not something that government should have any part in whatsoever.

Robtard
You bring up an interesting point with 'government & revenge.' What would you say to a system where the murdered (raped in this case) victims family gets to decide if they want the person dead; if so they're the ones that have to pull the trigger, inject the needle, flip the switch, what have you?

All for that system. If the executeds' family and friends then get to decide whether they want the family of the first victim dead. If so they're the ones that have to pull the trigger, inject the needle, flip the switch, etc.

I wouldn't agree with it. The system is still advocating it, which I don't agree with, I don't think that personal feelings or vendettas should come into any sort of criminal law.

This guy was more to the point I was making.

The parent wants justice(punishment) because they are the parent and the victim prolly wants his life. That was my point.

I appreciate your honesty. Quite literally, it is your job as a parent to protect your children. (I am using "your" as the ambiguous "you". I know you're not a parent.) Since I would be fairly pissed myself, I am sure I would act irrationally and beat the perverts ass while my wife called the police.

And to address your second statement...see below.

Since we live in a Democratic Republic, obviously it matters even an "objective" debate. A sympathetic parent's vote counts too.

Creating laws that can appease everyone is VERY difficult. You have to come up with complex policies that will not completely satisfy everyone.

The offended parent demands justice. The criminal demands mercy. The moralist professes the justice to be immoral. The cynical taxpayer demands less money be spent and is, therefore, indirectly for the justice. The optimistic psychologist demands rehabilitation...pissing off the cynical taxpayer and offended parent.


Of course, there are parents who are pro-life and are ridiculously benevolent and forgiving like those Amish people were to that killer who broke into their school.



I fall under the cynical taxpayer and optimistic psychologist category. Kill the bastard because I don't want to foot the bill for his incarceration but rehab that criminal if they are found to be "rehabable". Those two ideals directly contradict each other, imo, so my stance is absurdly confused.



Edit-Bardock, I see your response to the "parent" question. One thing that makes humans so intelligent is our ablity to place ourselves into others positions and judge our actions based on our comprehension of that situation. You are more than intelligent enough run through a "sympathetic" scenario. However, I won't press the issue further as you don't want to answer the question because you do not feel you could answer properly because you are not a parent.

If social arguments could be settled with simple logic, then you would have a point. When you have parents AND others who want things that irrational to others, you are going end up with...you get the point.


Also, your logic is not objective either. It is flawed because it is based on the construct of perceived universal morality. Person A's morality is not better than Person B's and vice versa. They are simply morals.

Unless God is real and their are fundamental morals, no one can claim morals can be used to objectively and logically used in a debate.

What do you call being "rendered harmless"? If a child molester/rapist is caught, and gets 15 years imprisonment, serves his sentence, is released and does the very same exact cruel act on another child, is that harmless? Is that justice served?

If they're in prison for life, they're rendered harmless.

Nine. Killing the person would NOT be protecting your child. All that would be necessary would be pulling them off your child and calling the police. Based on the common psychological profile of a child molester/child rapist, you wouldn't have very much trouble at all scaring them off. Most would just run if caught by an adult.

The point of the question was to show that despite your professions of objectivity and rational thought, you are just as human as any parent is. You would be taking justice into your own hands. I should have seen that your above perspective would be held because you like anarchy and hate government. But that didn't make sense since you suggested that cascade of killing with the family administered death penalty.



Also, because you are a big person, I don't think you would have a hard time beating someone to death.

True, there are a percentage of rapists and molesters who are incarcerated for life, but the majority, shockingly, is released back into the world after only a short stint of imprisonment.

Nine. Killing the person would NOT be protecting your child. All that would be necessary would be pulling them off your child and calling the police. Based on the common psychological profile of a child molester/child rapist, you wouldn't have very much trouble at all scaring them off. Most would just run if caught by an adult.

See, that's why I can't respect you. That is in no way what I said.

The point of the question was to show that despite your professions of objectivity and rational thought, you are just as human as any parent is. You would be taking justice into your own hands. I should have seen that your above perspective would be held because you like anarchy and hate government. But that didn't make sense since you suggested that cascade of killing with the family administered death penalty.

Fail again. I didn't speak for a death penalty ever. I satirized the ideas of death penalty supporters. Read what I say, stop making up your own stuff. If something is unclear just ask, don't run with your idea of what I might be saying.

Slim isn't good enough. Until the justice system is competent enough to ensure that NO innocent person will ever get put to death, it should not exist. Killing one innocent person through error is a much greater argument against the current incarnation of capital punishment than anyone could make.

True, yet there were apparently hundreds released after a time served on death row. It happens. How to know that one day won't be killed. Really, thinking about it, it is likely it already happened.

Better to spend $5,000 on an execution than $35,000 a year to feed and house the bastard, in my opinion. Well, the average time of death row is above 10 years. The price of appeals and their specific housing is larger as well. I don't know how true it is, but there are rumours that on average it is more expensive to kill someone via death penalty than to lock them away for life. And then there is te thing about killing a human.

It has happened, many innocent people have been executed. They were only proven innocent after they were dead once new technology was advanced.

If I remember correctly, at least here in Texas, it cost about $5,000 to administer the 3 drug cocktail for lethal injection. Why, for f*cks sake, it costs that much to administer sodium thiopental, pancuronium bromide, and potassium chloride I'll never know. It costs the state of Texas, at the very least, $35,000 per year for housing, food, clothing, and medical care.

Yes, but that leaves out their housing for 10+ years. The appeals they get. The amount of extra guarding and care they get, etc. If everyone that was sentenced to death was going to be taken to the gas chamber the next day the economic argument would make sense. I am sure Iran saves a shitload on money on it, but in the US there are "luckily" more issues to consider.

I searched for some numbers on this before and I couldn't find any. Its great to have SOME sort of numbers to go by here.

I would also like to streamline the justice process so that they are stuck in the court system eating up tax payer money. I would also like a justice system that has a perfect conviction rate. no expression

Yes. To me that's not a question.

So, since you're of the opinion that the rapist needs to be locked up for life, that still leaves the chance, greater than slim, that the rapist will be paroled back into the world and, most likely, commit his horrible act again on another innocent child. Would you not concede to the possibility of chemical castration as a reasonable alternative?

It's okay. I guess it could be confusing. Just try to ask me if that happens, I don't appreciate you always making judgements on the assumption that I did NOT think of a specific aspect. What I meant to say, and what I hold it to say, is that I am for killing someone only in self defense. I wasn't referring to this specific scenario as I knew, and as you rightly pointed out, that killing them would not necessarily, nor even likely, be in defense of danger.

That was one of the posts I assumed you were referring to as well. I was making two satirical jokes. The one about suggesting that your idea of the family should have the decision should lead to the family of the now new victim to have a decision. And the other about only those being pro-death penalty being subject to it. Obviously neither of it is part of my philosophy. It was to illuminate a point. One that the death penalty creates new killers and the other that the minority gets oppressed by it.

What if the rapist willingly agreed to be chemically castrated to be paroled? That is, in fact, an option given to sex offenders here in the Texas penal system. I, personally, would worry that the rapist would still be a sexual predator even without a functioning libido.

I once knew an inmate who served a 13 year sentence for raping his 4 year old daughter and giving her gonorrhea. I happened to know him upon his release date, and he said that when he got home and away from this place, he intended to give his life to Jesus and atone for his sins he committed. My whole body quivered with fear that he might do the same thing again.

Were it up to me, he would have been relived of his libido.

These theoretical questions really can't be taken seriously. They're meaningless. For one, they're difficult (and impossible, for some) to answer because you can't just tansport yourself to that situation with ease. I couldn't give an answer because I wouldn't know what I'd do, it would have to actually happen. I can't imagine the rage and fear and sadness and confusion that would inherently fill me should I walk in on something like this, so to say "well, I'd do this" would be wholly dishonest for me.

Also, this talk is about justice, which exists in order to keep these kinds of subjective feelings OUT of the decision. Justice must be cold and calculated, it can't start taking into account the emotions involved, its purpose is to be fair and logical. Speaking of something as subjective as what YOU would do if your child was being raped is irrelevant.

It doesn't matter a bit if the death penalty is nothing more than revenge. The fact is it gets rid of scumbags that have murdered, raped, and hurt other people. Their punishment for their crimes is DEATH. Simple as that.

And even it is only revenge, so the **** what?

There is nothing wrong with revenge.

A system without the death penalty just coddles criminals, and creates a system where criminals know no fear.
