Thank you for your time in reading m little rant, but you have to admit that your stance is exceedingly ridiculous. The death penalty DOES deter crime. So does a harsh cell with nothing but the basics. You want to rehabilitate criminals? That's fine. Teach them how to do something useful. But don't give them frekking millions of ways to be distracted from why they're there. Make them want to rejoin society. Make them wish they hadn't done what they did. And fairly pay those who were wrongly accused. What happens if the state makes a mistake? "Oh, sorry Mr. Billy, but you didn't kill those kids after all. Oops. Sorry. Here, we'll let you out, but your record still says you were convicted, so nobody's going to trust you since you were suspicious enough to be put in jail for the last 8 years. Have a nice life."
