Simply...no it is not.

Capital Punishment will never return to the UK unless we withdraw from the EU. It's true to say that CP dose not always work, from my point of view CP is the easy way out and you save money so it's a double edge sword that one. The system we have needs to be sorted out by cutting away the the red tape and all the paper work as well. But as we all know the government of the day will do little or nothing until it effects them.

Amen to that!

With so many variables that can lead to a bad conviction (or not) like duff evidence or incompetent legal representation, bias, lack of evidence or new evidence come to light after sentencing, the right of the state to kill certain criminals is on very shaky ground indeed.

Life imprisonment in spartan conditions, and in the worst cases, virtually solitary confinement is a much crueller punnishement as the inmate is constantly reminded of his circumstances every minute of every day he is alive and serving his sentence.

Capital punnishement is revenge, nothing more. Whilst it may, for a time, bring some recompense for a victims families loss, it will not bring them back.

I hear a man with a IQ below 60 was put to death in America not so long ago. :nope:


You guys think we should have some kind of siren to wake up the prisoners that can
sleep through the wardens checks just to make it fai on them all?

If not, whats the differance?

The law does not define a prison term to be a time where people are to be made suffering, getting tortured, so I see no meaning in trying to keep criminals serving their penalty awake at night. the rejection of freedom to move and to act as they wish is understood as the penalty nowadays. A lower noise level inside prisons is the least of my concerns. Howveer, if prisoners must be allowed this and that "luxury" they may wish for, or - like widespread in europe - must be understood not as evil-doers, but as objects of resocialising efforts, remains to be argued. But as long as you do not make every court sentence an execution order, many prisoners will and must be released one day. So trying to enable them to have a better stzrat inbto their new civial life after their release makes sense. If it really can be acchieved to that degree as today many specialists would argue, is something different. I also have a problem with penaltiy on suspension, shortened penalty lengths due to good behavior, and free walks outside. A penalt nevertheless is a peny<lty, and if this penlty is the rejection of freedom, this freedom should not be allowed in small doses nevertheless, or as a reward. the sytem become corruptible by that, and the spycholoigy mechanism behind "pealty" often gets derailed, too.

One should never forget that if you release a social low class criminal and he returns into his former social milieu, the chance he will become criminal again is very, very high. Whereas the workdesk-offender, the big boss being corrupt, the manager who abused the system and took advantage of it, still has all his knowledge, and his criminal contacts, and thus also is a risk to do his crime again once he was released. This is an acute problem. The first example means to fight against Meduasa, and the second i see no real solution, only a hope that eventually an effect of deterrence can be achieved if the offender serves a pelty time that is aversoive enbough (long enough).

All in all I have not much trust into the laws and the courts, last but not least becasue ridiculous experiences I had to go through myself, and my parents having an issue running my mother takes suffering from.

Law and justice more and more often is not ihn congruence these days. A system where your wealth has a direct influehnce on the qulaity of attorney you can afford, and thus the chances you face, and the severity of a penalty, is even worse, of course.

so let the wards wear their sneaker at night. if that would be the only problem there is, we would have all reason to be satisfied. Wanting justice is one thing. Wanting revenge is a very different.
