Would you support bringing back the death penalty for certain crimes ?

I have read all the debate and still think that in some circumstances the death penalty is the best and fairest outcome.

Some of the arguments are blown out of the water, if someone has filmed themselves doing the long term
( I wont type the word) over days, weeks months and then eventually killed the victim.

In prison they will get some ' hassle'but typically long term they will be in a wing with other like minded individual.

Recent cases that have involved cases where women have murdered children, in prison they do fine. Start a relationship. Live happily ever after, well certainly not living in hell. I can think of at least 2 cases in the U.K. in recent history where this is the case.

Whether Gandhi said it or not, it is obviously as true today as it was whenever it was first said.

Never

Partly why the prisons are full to overflowing. Crime pays.

Even the most hideous crimes result in accommodation, fullboard for life.

No wonder these crimes happen. Little deterrant.

Last decade over 100 prisoners with life sentences for murder etc have been released and gone on to commit crimes warranting another life sentence for murder etc.

No

That's a fair answer.
