My thought is that many people are out commiting crime knowing very well that the chances are, they will get at the most a slap on the wrist.
Many of them don't have a thing to loose. Living in a prison, with cable, workout facilities, plus free room and board is far better than where they are now. So many people just don't care. Being locked up isn't that big of a deal to many of them.
I say we change that. Take away all the extra curricular crap! It is a prison, not a home! Make them work, make them suffer a little bit to where they will think twice before commiting a crime.
As far as the death penalty...If you take another persons life out of stupidity and it is not 100% self defense. Dead! If you hurt a child in any way because of stupidity. Dead! If you rape anyone. Dead! Your fifth time in prison because you are too stupid to act like a decent human being. Dead!
People will then think twice! Yes it is pretty outrageous but look at the things that happen in our world. I am totally open for a better idea...IF IT WORKS!
