i voted to bring it back... just as long as they get some time to appeal... and i hate all of the...
inadmissable evidence,
or bent cops,
or tampered witnesses,
or the gun was put in the wrong sort of evidence bag !!
it's a proper tricky thing to decide (especially in a forum on a Friday night !!!)

If they decided you're guilty and you're not, how would you feel facing the death penalty?

We know that 'aint gonna happen...
But short sharp sentences at a labour camp with 15 hour days...minimal rations,no TVs etc,no visitors...just work and sleep.Few would wish a repeat visit.
Those refusing to work...the sentence just starts all over again like it used to in the Army glasshouse years ago.Some blokes would be in there for months until they did as they were told.
They have to learn you can't beat the system and to comply with the law.

Didn't work in the 70/80 with the sort sharp shock did it? Prisons were hard in thoses days, very hard but still we had over populated jails.

You say they were hard peaps, maybe they weren't hard enough, it surely has to be a place that no one wants to return to, or it is absolutely no deterrent whatsoever.

I don't agree that prison should act as a deterrent to solve our social problems. We need to fix the problems.
Prisons have always been full no matter what conditions, people murder eventhough the death penalty is law. I'ts obvious that prison as a detterent historically has failed.
The re-offending rate is very high in the uk, in the 80%, and many are petty criminals. I say train them up for a trade and give them a way to earn a good living. Don't let them out untill they qualify. Then they have no excuse.

Solitary confinement forever, like the supermax prisons in the USA.

In 1984 there were eleven victims of homicide per million population, making the risk of being a murder victim roughly 25 per cent lower than it was a century ago.
