My son will not have those things in his room. So it's a moot question.
If you want to equate someone's bedroom with tv, video games, computer, phone, and porn DVDs () with jail....be my guest. :screwy I'm just yanking your chain by the way.
Maybe you have personal knowledge of how great being in jail is. Who knew? :2wave:
It's upon us now. But I've made my own thoughts about retaliatory "justice" clear enough in that there's a lack of focus on general deterrence issues. :shrug:
Why should my taxpayer dollars go to fund this bastard? I'm glad he's getting a taste of what he did to 10 innocent people.The Associated Press: D.C. sniper mastermind set to be executed Tuesday

If he did would you send him to his room as punishment?
They practically have those things in prison. They have cable tv, libraries, video games(in some prisons), internet access(some prisons), college education and many other things that a lot of people on the outside of prison have to pay for and a a lot of things that regular law abiding citizens in 3rd world countries do not have.
If you took away the stabbings, butt rape and other prison violence how would it be any different than a dormitory(minus the exception that you are free to leave at any time)?
The point is justice.
It will deter the shooter in question from ever committing another murder. That's a sufficient level of deterrance for me. :2wave:
Do you have proof of this?I am pretty confident that it is more expensive to the taxpayer to pay for someone to be executed than to let him/her rot in jail for the rest of his/her life.
Have you seen many executed criminals re-offend?
How many people sentenced to life without parole re-offend?
How many people sentenced to life without parole re-offend?
How many people sentenced to life without parole re-offend?
Many do, they can kill other prisoners, or the people sworn to protect them, and guard them.
If it provides even a hint of peace and/or redemption to the victim's families, then behead them for all I care. I don't worry about stepped-on cockroaches or dead weeds in my yard either. There's no difference.
I just cannot grasp anyone thinking that being in jail is actually a positive experience of some sorts.
1. How often does this actually happen?
2. Couldn't this be mitigated with better imprisonment techniques?
I never said it was a positive experience. I just said being locked in a place that has practically all the same luxuries (or more) that they do on the outside of prison is no punishment. It is going here little Billy for punching your sister in the face I want you to your room where your computer, video games, phone, and cable tv is and I want you to think about what you have done.

lol, I don't think it accomplishes that. Idiots still reproduce more, and murder is not a common crime. Besides, in order to remove them from the gene pool you'd have to execute them before they have kids, and many of them already did produce kids.
How often do prisoners kill other prisoners, or their guards, well.....this is a common occurance, actually.
I suppose you could keep people in their cells, for their entire lives, but then that would be challenged.
I support the death penalty, many of my libertarians friends do not...
Do you have any data pertaining to this?
The money we save from abolishing the death penalty could be used to better secure violent offenders.
I think the death penalty is morally justifiable; I just don't think it's practical.
Yeah, but when little Billy goes to his room, is he forced to toss the salad?
