Some crimes are so heinous and some people so evil, that the criminals should be put down, as Atticus Finch put down a rabid dog in To Kill A Mockingbird.

Massachusetts murderer Joseph Druce was already serving a life term in a maximum-security prison when he murdered fellow inmate John Geoghan, a former priest imprisoned for sexually molesting a child.

Now THAT'S a well deserved death execution.

Death Penalty - 0% Recidivism Rate.

Back in the 80’s in CA, Rose Byrd, the CA supreme court justice ruled execution unconstitutional and every one on death row had their sentence converted to life WITH parole. Many were paroled and some killed again. Rose Byrd was recalled and run out of office.

Kill while you can or some lib will try to release them.

It is often argued that a life sentence without the possibility of parole is as bad or worse than a death sentence. You often see death row inmates pleading for their lives, often through their attorneys, families, advocacy groups, etc. How often do you see a prisoner begging for a death sentence rather than life in prison?

That question ends that dumb argument every time it is raised.

I am all for life sentences- short ones- no more than 30 days or 90 days with extenuating circumstances, on bread and water in order to save expenses.

Life without parole could work, as long as it’s served welded into a steel box, 6’ on a side, with a hole in the side for food/water, and a hole in the bottom for waste.

To be departed only on assuming room temperature.

1)Life without parole, in the absence of the death penalty, is a license to kill, usually within the confines of the prison, but it also jeopardizes the lives of the employees.

2) Once the death penalty is universally abolished, the prison reformers will target life without parole. Then life. Then prison. The insane attacks on marriage, Christians, churches and Confederate flags, just to name a few, should be instructive as to the voracious appetites humans have for pushing the boundaries ad infinitum.
