Talk about a deterrence if people were convicted in the morning, sentenced in the afternoon, and executed at 12:01 AM, though.

For those who were sentenced to the death penalty, sure.

Your post didn't say that. It did, in fact, give the impression that you condone the killing of any and all in the prison population.

I knew that wasn't your intent; I was just yanking your chain.

That wasn't your intent...was it? lol!

I have a brother who is addicted to heroin. He's doing 25 years to life (third strike) for commercial burglery, theft, and passing stolen checks. He committed his crimes to support his habit. Do you think he deserve to be executed?

When he committed burglery and theft, was he armed? Would he have killed an innocent store owner if caught burglarizing a store? Some drug addicts will kill just to get their drug.

Probably it would be better to put those drug users who rob and burglarize together in cells apart from the murderers and rapists. The murderers and rapists should be together.
