Pfizer withdraws drugs from being used in executions

There are people in this thread who could use a little enlightenment, but even then, calling them animals and for them to be treated like animals won't fix those problem, will it?  It'll only piss them off and make them double down on their opinion.

It's good to keep in mind that most of the prisoners are getting out at some point. Maybe after a couple of years, maybe after a stretch of 20. What happened to them behind bars will make all the difference. Were they raped, were they treated inhumanely, were they exposed to violence running unchecked? Did they get the opportunity to educate themselves? The person that comes out will be a different person than the one that got in in any case. It's in societies best interest to not create mental cases but to try to reform them and offer them a new chance in life.

Absolutely, which is why I said our entire system is fucked up.
I do not believe in incarceration as a form of punishment. I don't even believe in punishment as a form of corrections.

Corrections should offer help. Things like rehab, education, job training, counseling and support. Not lock up a person in a place that makes them, if anything, worse off in the end.

But many people think justice means punishment, and/or revenge. It is hard to talk them out of that notion when it is a part of their fundamental belief system.
