The manner in which the death penalty is administered nowadays, a needle that puts you to sleep, is probably not much of a deterrant to crime anyway. I'm in favor of eliminating the death penalty, but it needs to be followed-up with harsher prison conditions for the hardened and violent offenders: chain gangs, hard labor, boot-camp style rules/behavior, no TV or weight-lifting, and perhaps a gulag or two in the mountains of Alaska where the worst of the worst go to never be seen again.

Im at a loss, on one hand I am in favor of eliminating the death penalty, especially when you here of people being wrongly convicted and put to death. Then you see a case such as the one in Florida with the rape and murder of poor Jessican, and you wonder what is proper justice for this disturbed man?

The French had the right idea with "Devil's Island."
