Do you agree with the death penalty for violent crimes. Some people say that the leagal system has gotten soft on criminals, and as such does not deter thier activities. If we look back in history and even in other countries there is a lot tougher penalties for serious crime. After watching many television programs about jails and crime punishments in other countries, it makes me wonder if the system is too soft on criminals. Over and over again people kill others and maybe they get life in jail or maybe less with a plee deal, is this fair to those who are the victims. Then you have the repete violent offenders that keep being released. Some of these rules I believe need to be changed, but where do you draw the line? What is your thoughts on the matter?

i say hang them.. shot them inject them, shock them. i think they need to bring it back in all states and countries. instead of having people sitting in jail for life and taking up room and causing them to let people go due over crowned.

Why is Charles Manson still alive and Tookie Williams was executed? What's the purpose of holding criminals like this in prisons at tax payers' expense? My suggestion is that when the government takes a decision about Guantanamo, do not close it down; but instead use it to hold hardcore criminals at this facility - especially murderers, child killers, gangsters and illegal immigrants who are convicted of murder or extreme crime. Treat them the way the terrorist suspects were treated - with some torture in their "menu". Even if they manage to escape, they will only end up in Cuba.

Nice humorous twist. Though the harsh treatment of hardcore criminals is not such a bad idea. So many go free which only promotes the ideal that is you get caught you will only serve a short time so why not do it.

I agree the sentencings people get now and days are wrong raping a child you get 8 years or less or as much as probation?A guy I knew receieved 21-42 years for killing his sons molester not only he did it out of rage cause it was his son he was also a victim as well in my book molesters should never be released from jail let them suffer like the children did the system is so hard on a murderer and easy ona molester what is the problem?and if u get a dui you go to jail 3 duis you get 1-5 years child molesters seems to be getting less time then dui offenders i personally believe the system is royal screwed up.And if you kill a child molester your a hero to me and as well as to other cause that's less children innocents lost when the attacker is gone.
