No, but life in prison has become equivalent to only twenty years, so it's high time we brought the latter back to its literal duration.

No, prisoners can be used as government controlled workforce and be more manpower efficient.

How do the cultural or legal precedents in your community shape your views on the death penalty, if at all?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

In your opinion, does the death penalty serve a moral or practical purpose in modern society?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

If you were in a position to decide, would you seek to implement the death penalty as a part of your justice system, and what would guide your decision?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

How do you reconcile the finality of the death penalty with the possibility of rehabilitation or change in a person?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

Are there circumstances where you believe the death penalty could be a deterrent to prevent serious crimes, or do you think it has no effect on crime rates?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

How might the existence or absence of the death penalty impact the way society views the value of human life?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

Can you imagine a crime so heinous that you believe a death penalty would be the rightful punishment, or do you think a different form of justice would be more appropriate?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

Should the potential for wrongful convictions affect our stance on the death penalty, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

What are your thoughts on taking a life as retribution for a crime, and can it ever be justified in your eyes?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

How would you feel if someone close to you was given a death sentence for a crime they may or may not have committed?

 @93ZVQ53 from New York answered…2yrs2Y

No, automatic appeals make it significantly more expensive than a life sentence.

 @92YHQCV from California answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence, because too many people are innocently convicted. Plus, I think that spending life in prison is a harsher sentence because the dead don't suffer unless their soul was sent to hell that is.

Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, unprovoked murderers, and anything against animals.

 @9334YP3answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, for those sentenced to life in prison as well as for those sentenced to death, but in both cases, only when further appeal is impossible or not desired.

 @92WTP23 from Pennsylvania answered…2yrs2Y

No, it would be less expensive to implement life in prison without parole

Yes, bring back public executions for those who have raped, done anything gruesome to an animal, or those who have murdered anyone for no reason.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, unprovoked murderers, and anyone who has harmed the weak.

  Deletedanswered…2yrs2Y

Execute rapists, any unprovoked murders, anything gruesome against animals, and anything against the weak.

 @92458D2 from Illinois answered…3yrs3Y

The punishment should fit with the crime in which the criminal committed

 @ThomasJ249 from Georgia answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only for rapists, anything forced sexually, anything against animals, and anything terrorist in nature.

 @8ZVZ2J5 from Georgia answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but I think that the death penalty should be an opt-in program for any incarcerated individual who's serving an extended sentence.

 @8ZTJN9H from North Carolina answered…3yrs3Y

 @ThomasJ476 from Georgia answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only for rapists, unprovoked murders and anything against animals.

 @ThomasJJ99 from Georgia answered…3yrs3Y

Public executions for those who have done harm to any animal, rapists, unprovoked murders, and any type of money embezzlement.

 @ThomasJj88 from Georgia answered…3yrs3Y

Sort of. I do not like how the government can execute someone but I do believe that public executions should be brought back. Anyone who has harmed an animal, unprovoked murder, or have raped someone should be publicly hung or shot in the head.

 @Thomasjj68 from Georgia answered…3yrs3Y

Sort of. I do not like the idea that the government has the capability to execute someone but I do believe that we should bring back public executions for those who have been proven as being a rapist, anything against animals, gruesome attacks, and execute those who have manipulated another.

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, bring back public executions for rapists, any unprovoked murder, anything against animals, and other heinous crimes with absolute evidence.

 @8VC7WDN from North Carolina answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, also support bringing back public executions but only for most severe crimes.

 @MSmashville from Maryland answered…3yrs3Y

No, killing someone for any reason other than self-defense is wrong. No matter what they may or may not have done. Especially since a lot of people that have been killed by the state have been confirmed as wrongfully convicted.

 @8YPN2V5 from Louisiana answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, publicly execute rapists, unprovoked murderers, anything against animals and children.

 @8Y5H9DW from Wisconsin answered…3yrs3Y

No, we should be wary of giving the government the power to end the life of its citizens.

 @88NZKDZ from New York answered…3yrs3Y

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but only for the crimes of treason, sedition, espionage, murder, rape, and kidnapping of a minor when it is carried out by way of lethal injection, hanging, firing squad, or gas chamber

 @8Y2NH4W from Minnesota answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but they should get to choose from life time in jail or death penalty and there is enough evidence to prove that they did the crime.
