Reply #59: Systematic Killing and Random Killing...

[Solon]

are two different things in my opinion. Our prisons are cesspools for violence and drugs, as well as other offenses, I do not deny that. However, if you want to address that then its another issue entirely. The prison system itself is at fault for that, and we need to address it. Think about it, the prisons breed murderers, even though many in the system are non-violent offenders. That system needs to be addressed as well. It has nothing to do with death penalty per se, only in the entire criminal justice system that breeds such corruption into inmates and guards alike. Separating the populations, between non-violant and violant, putting the most violant offenders in maximum security, etc. can all be used to alleviate that problem. How would your system solve it?
