If the law and society allowed I would prefer that hard labor be enacted in place of the death penalty.
I’m guessing I’m in the minority on that though.
For people who did the deed, execute; for those who were party to it, hard labor for a very long time.
No problem with a sentence of hard labor where it's appropriate ... but some people need to hang.
We don’t even need prisons. Execute rapists, murderers, drug dealers, and child molesters. Every other crime is punishable by becoming the property of those harmed. If you have stolen, you work off the cost at double TO THE HARMED. The system is set up for government to make money off of crime, while the aggrieved party gets nothing but heartache.
Execution, and not after decades of legal wrangling and costing millions of taxpayer $, is the only just method. For murder, rape, child molesting, arson that results in a death.
I absolutely agree with you. I’d love to see a bunch of sorry ass prisoners sweating like crazy in the heat busting up rocks for no reason other than giving them something to do.
If criminals knew that their time would be nothing but hard labor, I don’t think as many would repeat their crimes.
