Or at least go the route of execution that some twc's do, eye for an eye. For example, that woman who drove her kids into the lake, should be executed the same way. Unfortunately, that will never happen here, US is to PC for that.

yep! i agree with that, too...these ppl that have done these horrible acts get lethal injection and go to sleep like a dog--and that's it. their stay in jail should be horrific to counteract the peaceful way they get to die...unlike their victims.

and i don't know how much of a deterrent capital punishment is b/c i've never had a class that got into the details of it all...but i do know that it is called capital punishment, not capital deterrent. i think that's its main focus. to punish those who have done wrong. i mean, if it keeps someone from killing another, then great...but if someone has got it fixed in their heads to actually take the life of another, there's probably not a whole lot to keep it from happening unless someone knows about it in advance. ya know? i don't think a psycho-path sits around and weighs his options...
