Reply #8: Capital punishment is inhumane [View All]

It is really sad that we are about the only "civilized" country which has capital punishment. Every new form of capital punishment is supposedly less inhumane, but then we find out it is inhumane too. Hell, even if the actual death was painless the wait for it would be cruel. What is even more gruesome is the fact that punishing an innocent person is not that rare.

It just makes me want to cry about the inhumanity we have towards humanity at times.

I recently toured a prison that was active up until 1995 I believe. It was gross! 5 x 7 cells. The entire facility was disgusting. Yet we have people acting as if being in jail was like spending time in a luxury resort! It gives me the creeps just thinking about it, and all the innocent folks who served time there. Saw a list of prisoners. Few had graduated from high school, even fewer had any college. The exhibit on "old sparky" had about 5-6 famous writeups about executions, and at least 2, maybe 3 mentioned that they had to shock the victim twice because he wasn't dead yet. Gross me out.

Sorry for the rant.
