REFORM the prison system and you wouldn't need the death penalty.
how so? Considering the question of the death penalty tends to be more of an ideological debate...what does the prison system have to do with it?
The death penalty is supposed to be a deterrent.
Ok well by reform of the prison system you wouldn't no longer need the DP anymore.
Whats my reform?
I would get rid of general population which is NOT working and actually creating more problems in terms of crime inside prison and outside. My prisons would be basically like a max lockdown. One cell, One person in the cell, and you would never see the light of day. 2 meals a day, books and even TV ( education channels and NEWS only) this would all be in that cell. We already have something sorta like this in our maxium federal prisons, although I would apply it to state prisons and pretty much do away with our current ones.
Sounds extreme , but our current prisons are a MESS.
After spending 5 years in my type of prison you wouldn't think about wanting to ever go back. Unlike now most repeat offenders will tell you that they rather be in prison because its like a home. More gangs are created in our prisons then on the streets. This is a direct result of failed "general population".
