I don't understand why society and politicos have such difficulty dealing with Capital Punishment. Idaho is now going to firing squads after a botched injection. I have two thoughts on the subject. I personally don't believe it is a deterrent because people have always killed people. If you still believe it is a deterrent then obviously it did not deter this individual who apparently had accepted the outcome of their action. For my second thought I am of the belief, it is simply the right thing to do. The state (their choice of method) just simply needs to execute and notify someone to pick up or dispose of the body. I don't need to know who, how, or when someone is executed in my state but only they are doing their job. EOY report #### executions completed. Our lifelong Vet has been able to send our precious pets on to peaceful paradise when needed, just saying.
Here is my thoughts from working jnsode the Federal Bureau of Prisons specifically at USP Terre Haute and delt with several death row inmates. As well as general population high security inmates.
Is it a deterrent????? Probably not as much as it should be however inmates (the violent ones anyway) don’t think like we do!
However I am for the death penalty. However it’s the 20 plus year legal process that’s the bigger issue (other than when we Did McVigh, Garza and Hines the first 3 Gederal executions in 2001 and 2003 after they started them back) they were less than and right at 10 years from the crime (McViegh was 6) I’d say 5 years is the right time for any appeal as we all know the Government can get it wrong sometimes.
That said as far as if it’s a detent or not well they won’t kill again. There is a false assumption that all is well once a criminal goes to prison. The problem very few stop being criminals, they just murder rape try to run dope and steal inside prison while some say assaults and murder inside is a “disrespect” the disrespect is because someone else got assaulted or stole from without being sanctioned
As far as the kill again one of our biggest PITA legal Eagle inmates on death row had kine 3 dates kept getting a stay, genius henios inmate from Oklahoma. (Was doing a 1,200 year state sentence but was moved to the Feds because he was intimidating victims) killed a cell mate in SHU got the Death Penalty Gets commuted to life finally
He gets shipped to USP Tucson everyone they delt woth him knew matter if time. He made it less than a year in general pop and had another body and in typical his fasion complained and wanted to come back to death row at Terre Haute. He never made it finally passed from diabetes and is in a much warmer place than Tucson now.
So my thoughts I still believe some need executed, firing squad is not a bad way and quick. They need to donut in 5 years or less
Another thjng as far as deterrent people don’t get punched in the mouth like they use to for saying the wrong vile stuff these days and it shows. but back when they knew they crossed a line it would happen and kept most in check! Not all but you needed a couple to get punched to re validate the message. Most timely execution will do that, but hih will have some just ain’t gonna learn
