I find it ironic how the time spent in Death Row can really change the way some people think. I get the feeling that this sort of life (or what you can call life after being sentenced) changing experience should be capitalized on, and the people who exhibit signs of true change are released under a new name and life, albiet closely monitored. IMO.

So all the serial killers and rapists who have professed to be born again are just misunderstood and should be let go and monitored by a probation officer? Sounds about right.

Yeah, I'm happy your life has changed and you see the light...but, the person you killed is still dead. If you make a mortal choice for them, then you don't get a second chance either.

One thing I've never gotten about the death penalty is why everybod is so concerned about it being cruel and unusual. If somebody did something bad enough to warrant the death penalty, then why be kind to them?

For every reformed criminal who wants to live an honest and noble life when he gets out of prison, there are 10,000 thugs who will commit the same crimes the second they're let out of prison.
I say we take death row inmates and test various new drugs, chemicals and surgical procedures on them. If they survive, they're helping mankind. If not, it just speeds up the death sentence. Two-fold benefit.....booya.

Honestly, it just comes down to people thinking that putting someone down like a dog is inhumane, no mateer the circumstances. Personally I dislike the death sentence because it seem way too easy of a way out. Sure, they die, but thats it. They don't don't really pay their debts to society. So, in semi seriousness, I think that either we do away with the death penalty or we at least put their reamins to some use.

It's more about just removing that person from society and from the gene pool. Their punishment for the crime is having to sit for years on death row knowing they are going to die, but not really knowing when. And let's face it, death and knowing you're going to die is the one thing that truly terrifies just about everyone. The execution itself is to just get rid of them.
I like the death penalty and wish it'd be used more often. I'm with Eddie_Hyde; if someone is flawed enough to earn the death penalty by committing a heinous crime, then we don't want them in our society anymore and they should be destroyed.

The primary reason that the death by firing squad option is available in Utah is because of the Mormon doctrine of blood atonement. All of the people who've selected it as a manner of their death in recent history have been Mormon. Not passing judgement or anything, just a bit of trivia.

Yeah, I can see my reasoning is flawed. But I agree with Ice2SeeYou.

I wonder how hard it really is to trick the executioner into standing in front of you and saying "fire".
