Sure the perps fight it, but if it was a deterrent wouldn't why would they have committed the crime in the first place?

If they would use my methods it would deter people that want to kill the innocents, not life in prison lifting weights, watching TV ,getting educated.

Its not legal in Utah....they passed a law abolishing it but because he was sentenced before they abolished it they Grandfathered him in nd the courts allowed it! 1 bullet is cheaper than the gas or all the voltage it would have taken to eliminate the bastard......so lets save a few bucks!!!

Agree that prison can be too easy for some, that's part of the problem.

But if deterrence is really the motivation, why kill someone quickly?

You really want to deter crime get some Saddam style rooms with the shackles hanging from the ceiling. Put it on public access cable so people can watch their arms slowly rip off.

That would deter crime.

Put a few heads in the Guillotine like I said.
I bet a few would think twice before doing the crime !

That kind of a spectacle would probably just encourage crime.
