Do you think capital punishment is a deterrant against serious crime?

Yes

There have been a few stories in the media about inhumane treatment of condemned inmates. They say sometimes (lethal injection, for example) is not given properly, and the person suffers needlessly. How do you feel about this?

I think something should be done about this. We should not be torturing a person to death. It's barbaric. That makes us as low as they are, and what does that say about our society?

I see nothing wrong with it. (I may even support it!) It is just punishment for someone who did something to warrant it. As they say, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime."

Do you think there should be special 'life-sentence' prisons for murderers and child rapists, where they have little to no rights (for leisure activity)? For example, no television or cigarettes, and all you can do every day, for the rest of your life, is stare at the four walls and let your conscience eat away at what you've done. In other words, you essentially die of boredom.

Yes, I would gladly support that! People like that shouldn't have any rights! If you take away someone's life, then you don't get to have one!!

I think that's inhumane and too harsh.
