The death penalty in our nation is NOT a deterrent for one reason: there is no prompt justice.
Hang ‘em within a year of their crime, and you’ll see a deterent.....
Swift and sure punishment truly is a deterrent.
It's always a 100% deterrent for at least one person.
Or better yet, hang them a week later; frankly, I believe that in cases like Bundy and Gacy and the Son of Sam killer.

The Good Olde Days!
The day after Mayor Anton Cermak had passed away, Zangara was brought back into Room 630 for his second arraignment. The sentence of “death by electrocution” was reached on March 10th, 1933.
Shortly after 9:00am on Monday, March 20th, 1933, Zangara was strapped into the electric chair and prepared for electrocution. His last words were “Pusha da button. Go ahead, pusha da button”. At 9:27am, Giuseppe Zangara was pronounced dead. It had been exactly 33 days since the shooting in Bayfront Park to Zangara’s execution. The five weeks that culminated in the electrocution of Zangara was considered by many the swiftest legal execution in 20th-century American History.
