Let's just say there's should be no such thing as death row, just NEXT!

Make it public, where convicted and within 48 hours by hanging.

Murder, Rape, and Treason.

Sure, but if you're going to have it make it fast after appeals. None of this multi year bull...but prosecutors need to prove the crime beyond the shadow of doubt

All for it but don’t feed them for 30 years first

I would never vote to execute you Savell....Life sentence in a gay bar that serves only cheap wine coolers sounds about right.

Warrior was you accused of not mowing your lawn regular? Just curious.

The ceremonial law of the Old Testament (Temples, candles, animal sacrifice, etcetera.) ended with the the death of Christ. Moral law still stands in the New Testament. Death penalty for murder and rape.

not near fast enough. when I was working there we got several ready almost nightly before they got a stay from a judge somewhere. One night we had seven ready to go and only one went. he didnt return either.

Ellis 1, they didnt move them to Polunsky until that great escape several years after I went to LE. right at Thanksgiving. the only one to make over all three fences was snagged by a crappie fisherman. Had a 223 hole through one lung. I think he was in Harmon creek just off of the Trinity river. his cardboard and epoxy attempt at body armor wasnt functional. adjudication did occur.

100% for it

If they made the town show up for public hangings there would way less problems IMO

Having worked in Corrections for 25+ years, I have a few thoughts on the matter...

First off, and I can get deep into the weeds on this one - you gotta consider which "correctional philosophy" you prescribe to. Do you believe the purpose of the sentence is to deter people from committing crime, is it intended to be retribution (eye for an eye), to restore or make the victim "whole" or is it to rehabilitate the offender?

If it's retribution you seek, then death=death seems reasonable I suppose.

If it's to deter people from committing the most serious of crimes, one would logically expect that states that have the death penalty would have fewer people committing the crimes that qualify them for it. (Spoiler alert: The data doesn't support this.)

If your goal is to make the victim "whole", then we'd have to ask the victim (or their surviving family) to see what sentence they would like imposed.

As for the idea of rehabilitating people - that's a whole other matter.

The US is in love with locking people up and/or putting people on probation. If doing more of that translated into lower crime rates, then our crime rates would be DRASTICALLY lower than other developed nations. Yet the opposite is true.

While I agree that the pendulum has swung too far over into too many diversions and/or failure to adequately respond to criminal behavior (especially amongst youth) - I've never seen a shred of evidence suggesting that harsher penalties ALONE will translate into anything other than significant increases in the cost to the tax payer.

Maybe we should take a page from the Saudi justice system.

Would you support cutting off a thief's hand or blinding someone? Somehow I can't support those acts but I am not opposed to the death system.

I would add in Pedofile type stuff, anything to do with messing up a child’s life .

I’m kind of for it if done within 1-year of conviction. To be carried out by bullets shot by robot type systems.
I’m also for a public whipping post for repeat shoplifting, car theft and other non-criminal, but repeat crimes. Singapore has a low crime rate because nobody wants to be caned.

I guess thou shalt not kill is not valid?

…. lol

Remember back in the early 2000’s when they put that colored boy down at the Walls downtown Huntsville I believe

… I rode through all kind of protests… stopped just outside of town to get gas .. and here come some Africans upset about my confederate flag sticker on my back windshield

… I pulled my chopped down 870 and pumped gas wether they liked it or not

…I was just hoping one of em would draw … but they crawfished back behind that gas station

Tying em' up a caning folks for theft and the like would probably do wonders. I'm kind of with BC on the family choosing when it comes to a capital offense. They can chose death or a life of hard labor/solitary confinement.

I don't think the victim's family should choose the punishment when you are dealing with a horrendous case involving a repeat offender such as a serial killer is one example. Giving them life only to possibly eventually be paroled, is a danger to the public. A judge or the jury should decide whether the perpetrator lives or dies.

If the victim of a crime, or the victim's family in the case of murder. says "justice for me looks like XYZ", and XYZ doesn't happen, then justice isn't served, hence we have a legal system and not a justice system.
