I'm not sure whether or not I could vote for the death penalty. Sometimes I think yes, sometimes no, but it's hard to really say until/unless I'm in that situation.
As for me, I really hate that the person gets to live (and possibly escape) when they've taken a life themselves. I also hate the thought of paying this person to sit and watch tv, eat 3 good meals a day, and basically have it made -- free room and board for life -- that's just not a deterrent. Some even minor criminals keep getting arrested because they have it better behind bars than they do in the outside. So my idea is to put them to work. They have to earn their keep, just like the rest of us. I'm not talking the old fashioned work camps, but I do feel that if you don't have a skill, you should learn one or do manual work to pay your way. I think I could go for the idea of putting them all on an island and letting them make do.
