I am in favor of public executions with paid admission to see it. The money could always go to a good cause.
I'm going to assume you're being sarcastic, since I've already stated we can make room by letting out all non violent offenders.
OK a little bit of sarcasm but I do believe that if someone is a heinous criminal especially one with a life sentence should be put down.
I also think that a lot of non violent offenders should not be there in the first place. An example of this would be a pot smoker that got caught.
I also believe that when someone is released they should have all rights restored as they paid their debt to society. Some will argue that they shouldn't get their rights restored because they still pose a potential threat to others. My answer to that is simple. If they are potentially dangerous then don't let them out of prison in the first place.
You know our prison system in America has turned into a business that is there to make money. I saw where a judge was sending young men to a private prison with extra longs sentences and the prison was paying him for it.
I know I just ranted on almost incoherently but I just drank some strong coffee and am under the influence of it.
