Death vs.Life

**Janszoon** · 04-19-2015, 10:54 PM

I died a few years ago. So I guess that's where I am.

Oh, well, that's a different angle.

I was just talking about it for me personally. I'd rather live in jail than die, but I guess I'll have to give it more thought for rapists and child molesters and ****.

I'm already mad so go ahead and lock me up if there isn't a reasonable doubt. It'd be cool if I could have some paper and pen to entertain myself.

Of course you would, and so does ever other person facing that penalty. They would rather live a long, unproductive life on the inside, then accept the repercussions of what they have done. It's easier that way, to sweep it under the rug and yell about how innocent you are or how the government wants to kill you. When in fact, the victims, damn sure didn't ask to die in a brutal and horrific fashion. Their families didn't ask for the pain they will feel until they pass away. I honestly believe that there is nothing wrong with the death penalty, and it's very rare that you find cases where the wrong person is put to death, the legal system as ****ty as it is has to jump through so many hoops in order to actually sentence someone to death, it's far easier to sentence the wrong person to life in prison then it is to send them to the chair.

If I cannot listen to music, death. I've done less with my life and in my average day than a prisoner anyway.

Because what they have done to their victims is a thousand times worse then what the governing state is going to do them. People don't think twice about putting down a rabid dog, because it has brain rot. But a rabid human with brain rot, and soul rot, we kinda parade around and say silly **** like we are no better then they are. Well it's not a matter of being better, it's a matter of paying the for crime. And condemning someone to a life where they spend 23 hours a day alone in a cell is far more barbaric then hitting the reset button. Madness is a far crueler mistress then 5 minutes on a gurney being injected with the proper mixture of poison. I don't understand imprisoning them saying it's less cruel. Lets be real with it.

Edit: Also a lot of ppl on death row never apologize for the atrocities the have committed and hoot and holler and appeal and appeal and act like babies. Man you knew you were in a state that has this penalty for capitol murder. Man up suck it up and go down like a man. Same thing for the person that steals my tv. Man up suck it up go do yer stint in the jail and don't do it again.

Way I sees it, if someone is such a threat to society that it warrants killing them, then their psychology is probably worth studying. So instead of the death penalty, just stick them in a maximum security nuthouse and use them for study until the day they die of natural causes. There's so much we don't know about psychopaths, and so few times we actually get our hands on a confirmed one, that it's a waste of resources to just flush them down the drain.

The death penalty can cost far more than life incarceration. On average, the trials alone cost millions of dollars more than trials where the defense seeks life incarceration, ranging from two to eight times more expensive.

Costs of the Death Penalty | Death Penalty Information Center

Add that to the normal costs of maintaining a prisoner for years (as it usually takes many years for the execution to happen, TIME ON DEATH ROW | Death Penalty Information Center) in death row, and taking the subsequent appeals and investigations into account, and the costs become astronomical. Here's an interesting collection of professionals in the criminal justice world and their opinions on the death penalty versus life incarceration. (Does the Death Penalty Cost Less Than Life in Prison without Parole? - Death Penalty - ProCon.org) And actually, there are a few proponents of the death sentence who bring up good points, and that the costs don't have to be so high and can be reformed. There's even a proponent of the death penalty who claims that it costs less in the end (even though he claims this based on the information of one study, which has been refuted by the vast majority of studies into the costs of the death penalty, and really isn't even a study since it's basically guesswork as to what it will cost in the future rather than an examination of what it costs now). Read through the opinions, and decide what you believe.
