OT R 4 this morning
On R.4 this morning they were talking about the trouble they are having
in the US of A obtaining drugs to use when they carry out the death penalty, and they were talking to an advocate for one person awaiting the death sentence. He said that they have given up trying to get the sentence repealed, but he is worried that "some of the drug combinations they might use could be harmful" I thought that was the purpose of them.

The cheapest and quickest way to carry out a judicial killing is to hang them long drop style. The drop is related to their weight and is designed to provide enough force to break the neck and sever the spinal chord without decapitation. -- Phil Cook |

It's still a barbaric practice regardless of the crime. And the robbing, assaulting and killing of innocent victims is less barbaric? I would suggest that you have a very long and hard look at your table of priorities! Now just to placate you, I do not believe in capital punishment in any form - it is a far to easy release for those convicted of crimes that would invoke that sentence. Far better to lock them up in a black hole, throw away the key to its door and feed the convicted prisoner on the left-over slops from the prison's pig-farm (if it has one) and dirty water. If that also offends you, then put them out to work for eighteen hours a day on hard labour - and then return them to the black hole AND still feed and water them as above! ================================================== ====== Couldn't agree more. Prison is NOT a deterrent and is much too soft. I spent two years in Camp Hill Prison here on the Isle of Wight teaching. I got on fine with the prisoners and the prison staff, it was the Home Office and their rules and regulations on me! But it is the following little story which shows just what is in the mind of those inside and their attitude. Camp Hill was a Category 'C' prison, adults with minor crimes. One on my course was in for taking away cars, he just loved driving, often returning the car from where he got it, but he said one day "Do you know Mr Crowe the government are wasting money putting me in here. It would be much cheaper for them to buy me a car so I can get my pleasure". I gave him a polite lecture on 'working for one'. I feel that prison should be a deterrent. Hard work and a warning that if they offend again the sentence will be twice as long. 2 Years will be 4. 4 Years will be 8. 8 Years will be 16. etc. I put this to the car driving prisoner and asked him 'If you knew that your next sentence would be twice as long, would you think twice before you put your hand on the door handle?' A very prompt "YES". Whether it would stop him who knows, but it would make him think about his crime. Just done 4 years and the possibility of 8?????????

We read so often about drug users being found dead because the drug they used is to pure and so to strong. Why cant they use pure heroin or something then the condemned could die happy? |

Nobody wants happy heroin addicts. I spent my later teenage years with couple who were heroin addicts. She got pregnant so they gave up the drug. Their daughter is now a mum and they are happy registered ex-addicts by about 40 years. BTW they found heroin fairly easy to give up. OTOH they are still addicted to nicotine.

I don't normally post on this sort of thing, so shall not continue. The reasons that it is so barbaric is that the majority of people on death row never had a chance - not just the (deliberate) deprivation of their childhood, but they didn't get fair trials (due to race prejudice, not being defended properly and more), and quite often are mentally subnormal or were sentenced for a crime committed when they were children. In a few cases, they have been killed despite evidence having appeared between conviction and prosecution showing that they almost certainly were NOT guilty. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

How else would you suggest such a thing should be done, if it is to be done at all? The victim can hardly punish the person who took their life. So do you think close relatives should do it? Or perhaps a firing squad where nobody in it knows who has the blank? Imo, and disregarding the ethics or otherwise of capital punishment, if someone's life is forfeit because they've taken another life, then from their point of view and society's, it's far more 'civilised' to administer that punishment via trained but uninvolved individuals, ranging from the investigating officers, to the pathologists to the executioner. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
