BritishProud Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi just wondering, if anyone would welcome the death sentence back to Briton? For terrible crimes, considering that our prisons are becoming heavily over crowdered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happ Hazzard Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I think it should, but it really wouldn't make a difference to overcrowded prisons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I think it should, but it really wouldn't make a difference to overcrowded prisons. It wouldn't really, the amount of serious crimes, serious enough to warrant a death penalty is very slim compared with other, more minor crimes. Plus, if its anything like America, where they still hold the prisoner on 'Death Row' for years, it wouldn't make a difference at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For terrible crimes, considering that our prisons are becoming heavily over crowdered. If you want it back at least put forward a reasonable argument.

NorthernStar Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The death penalty is wrong I'm against it in principle, but if I'd have caught the so'n'so who broke into my car I'd have executed him on the spot. There are reasons why we have a high prison population that could be addressed in much more humane ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 What would be the point in killing someone for their crimes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Death is not a sentence. It is unknown and people assume it is a penalty because they are afraid of death. Despite the fact they do not really know what it is they are afraid of. If prisons are overcrowded, real reason is not enough jobs and poor help for the unemployed that are getting fed up. If they had money, something to do, most of them would not end up in prison. Cause and effect. I don't believe it is the prisoners fault they ended up this way.

Cyclone Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Worse than not much of a deterrent, it was no deterrent at all. Even the US states are gradually removing it as an option and using it less and less. It's possible to release someone from jail when wrongly convicted, it's not possible to unexecute them, there is no place for the death penalty in an enlightened society.

Don't forget our prisons have a high amount of foreign criminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
