Death sentences in UK

[Phil]

well then if he wants to die he should be made to stay alive and suffer, death is just an easy way out

i agree with fishkid, make them put some thing back into the comunity and do the xxxxx jobs no one else will do, but i guess we got imagrents to do those sorts of jobs now

The way hes living is hardly a punishment - gets everything for doing fleshin' all. Hes already admitted that the only reason he wants to die is because he doesnt want to rot in prison for the next 40 years. What I said up there ^^ (or on the previous page) wasnt a reason for bringing back the death penalty, like you said, its the easy way out and no form of punishment, but if you look at the state of British prisons today, most of them offer no real sort of punishment except for the restriction and isolation. Its not like the prisoners are doing anything to 'work off' their crime. Hard labour might be an idea, but I'm pretty sure that the prison service would come up with some lame arse excuse (along the lines of staffing problems etc). If taxpayers are forkings out millions a year to keep them in prison, atleast make the Government prove that something good is coming out of it all.

Huntleys case is a difficult one. There are millions of people who would love to see him dead, but at the end of the day, what good would it do?

no man... even if they do get it 'easy' in prison, they still haven't got their freedom... that must suck! watching tv and watch the world go by... without being able to participate in it, however lame it may sometimes be! (not to mention how stupid you would feel at every moment you thought of the coulda woulda shoulda for paasin up the one and only oportunity to live life...) people in prison can't have the cake and eat it... we can. so watchin others gettin cake and eatin it, is punishment enough...

Just a note--It generally costs more money to kill someone than to have them live in prision. Usually the creeps will keep impeaching the vote (or whatever it's called, takin it to the next level) and between court cost, lawyers, paperwork, people to process the paperwork, and all that crap, it ends up being cheaper to keep them alive.

However, some of those guys in the ultra-ultra high prisions, it seems a bit expensive...

I think they need to make the prisions more hellish for those guys, as in making life much harder and painful than death.

But I'm staying out of this one.

Sorry I'm not up on my british killers, who's Ian Henely?

Ian Huntley... scumbag who killed two 10 year old girls in Soham in 2002. He was the caretaker at their school, had been arrested previously on child molestation charges, but the police checks failed to show anything. He then went on national television saying how terrible their disappearance was etc (the bodies were found two weeks later in a drainage ditch). His girlfriend (at the time) was charged with perverting the course of justice and assisting an offender (she got off the assisting charge though). She was released in 2004 I think.
