Compsognathus 05/31/21 9:32:39 AM #19:	I just posted this in another thread but it is relevant here too: The point of the penal system shoupd never be cruelty or revenge. Priority one is to help keep people safe from dangerous criminals. Priority two is to provide an environment where people in the prison system can be reformed and made more productive so that those who leave will have a better chance to succeed and not relapse to old criminal behaviors. For criminals that cannot be reformed and rehabilitated life in prison meets priority one just as well as capital punishment, at a lower cost, and in the event of wrongful conviction provides the opportunity for some restitution. The ONLY thing that capital punishment does is feed vengeance-filled bloodlust and that has no benefit to society and no place in the Justice system. If even a single wrongfully convicted individual is murdered while an equally-effective, more affordable alternative that would have avoided it is in place then the capital punishment system is morally inexcusable. But I'll compromise. I would say we can keep capital punishment so long as the person who sentenced the individual and the DA who pushed for the sentence is brought up on murder charges should that person be found to be wrongfully convicted. After all, the sentencer effectively killed an innocent person. That is murder. Shouldn't be a problem if they are committed to their sentence and the ruling, right? Just adding some personal responsibility to the mix. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:954487425] in Do you sup...

For criminals that cannot be reformed and rehabilitated life in prison meets priority one just as well as capital punishment, at a lower cost, and in the event of wrongful conviction provides the opportunity for some restitution. The ONLY thing that capital punishment does is feed vengeance-filled bloodlust and that has no benefit to society and no place in the Justice system. If even a single wrongfully convicted individual is murdered while an equally-effective, more affordable alternative that would have avoided it is in place then the capital punishment system is morally inexcusable. But I'll compromise. I would say we can keep capital punishment so long as the person who sentenced the individual and the DA who pushed for the sentence is brought up on murder charges should that person be found to be wrongfully convicted. After all, the sentencer effectively killed an innocent person. That is murder. Shouldn't be a problem if they are committed to their sentence and the ruling, right? Just adding some personal responsibility to the mix. is this the mindset you have when moderating posts? --- R1R1R1R1R1R1 <cite>R1masher posted [p:954488483] in Do you sup...

Priority one is to help keep people safe from dangerous criminals. Priority two is to provide an environment where people in the prison system can be reformed and made more productive so that those who leave will have a better chance to succeed and not relapse to old criminal behaviors.

People who are suicidal and want to legally die should be able to be put to death professionally using a prison that supports the DP.

emblem boy 05/31/21 10:35:09 AM #48:	oh, I think he's saying that it's weird that not many people are unsure about their death penalty opinions. That he'd expect many more to just be generally unsure. I don't know, I don't think it's that weird. I also don't see why that has to do with politics and polarization --- Pitter-patter, let's get at 'er <cite>emblem boy posted [p:954488882] in Do you sup...
