Death Penalty and Deterring Crime

verbatim · 06-18-2001, 01:14 PM

This debate has been raging on in the Image of the day about the death penaly and how we should controll/punish/deterr killings. my personal thoughts are that we should be as tough as possible in the beginning, i.e. now, to get the message out that taking someone's life is not the thing to do if you wish to stay alive.

There have been some other ideas about this, including a penal colony to send just theifs and other law-breakers in general, but my favorite alternative to the death penalty has to be lifelong solitary confinement.

Any thoughts?
