I'm fine with getting rid of capital punishment as long as the murderer is deprived of all pleasures in life for his remaining life. Solitary. No TV, no books, just himself, and bare walls after appeals are done. before that, he can have books, etc., under the presumption he might possibly be innocent even though convicted. Once appeals are done (as speedily as possible, BTW), solitary. No parole, no getting out, except in a bag.
Do that and I'd be for abandoning the DP in civilian courts.
