frank ryan Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 why not bring in suspended animation ('suspended' sentence) convicts can be frozen until we find out they were innocent and stitched up and then they can be brought back to life - the meantime they are all but dead to satisfy the nutjobs.

AWOL Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 why not bring in suspended animation ('suspended' sentence) convicts can be frozen until we find out they were innocent and stitched up and then they can be brought back to life - the meantime they are all but dead to satisfy the nutjobs. Why not bring in suspended sentences for murderers, on the end of a rope via a trapdoor would do nicely and act as a deterrent in stopping them doing it again.

Rupert_Baehr Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The Chinese have 'suspended death sentences' - but they're not for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 In a world of finite resources and 7 billion humans there is little point in keeping a murderer alive, we kill dogs just for biting someone, we kill sharks just because they eat a passing swimmer, why not kill a murderer?

Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Some convicted murderers have done just that and have been released to murder again. Under Scottish law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laineyiow Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Applying for it doesn't automatically grant it. Agreed. Just because a prisoner can put in for parole doesn't mean they will get it and be released. When, and if, they do get parole they are not "just released" they are released "on license" which means if they commit the slightest misdemeanor then they immediately get sent back to prison and have to then complete the remainder of their sentence (usually without parole being offered again).

stereolab Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Then I would suggest that the death sentence is the ultimate deterrent. Turns out you are wrong http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/facts-about-deterrence-and-death-penalty 'Eighty-eight percent of the country’s top criminologists do not believe the death penalty acts as a deterrent to homicide' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
