This was already said, but it remains my main point on opposing the death penalty. Why does a government spend so much money condemning a man for murder, then turn around and perform the same act? It just seems like a great hypocrisy to me.

Now, on the other hand, if we could do something about lowering the standards of living for prisoners in jails, then I'd be totally against the death penalty. Bring back those medieval torture chambers. That would keep them straight.

(Seriously just kidding about the torture chamber thing).
