Corzine, and glad he has taken this step.<BR/><BR/>It's actually more expensive to sentence someone to death, than to just keep them in prison for the rest of their life. And I agree with Kevin, that I think spending a lifetime in prison might be a far worse fate than death.<BR/><BR/><BR/>BACBAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04394238321236592123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912576428113148491.post-42885540960208771542007-12-17T23:26:00.000-06:002007-12-17T23:26:00.000-06:00Most of the countries in the European Union stoppe...Most of the countries in the European Union stopped executing criminals back in the '60s. Indeed, the abolition of capital punishment is a condition for entering the EU. <BR/><BR/>The key is going to be win over many people who still cling to the errant belief that capital punishment does serve as some effective form of deterrent. <BR/><BR/>Our society grows progressively more and more violent, and a current argument raging states that this is why we need it now more than ever.<BR/><BR/>But when you narrow it down to a simple statement that it takes more money to imprison a person for life than take his/her life then it serves as an effective statement to counter the arguments of the pro-death penalty supporters. <BR/><BR/>If it were me, I'd feel lifetime imprisonment a far worse fate than death. One could even argue that death provides the easy way out for a criminal who deserves to feel a lifetime of guilt and remorse for his/her crime.Comrade Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393718048145784837noreply@blogger.com
