Instead of killing those on death row, what should we do to them?

Answer 1

Kill them faster.

Answer 2

Not quite, Historically, most executioners ended up committing suicide. Having to do this is a very traumatic experience. Today they have two execution teams, one of which administers the lethal injection to the real victim, and one who administers it to a dummy bag. They never know who it was who actually killed the criminal. Not exactly the best way to fulfil your urge. Also, serial killers tend to have specialsied and predefined killing rituals. Some of them will indeed just lurk in a given area and kill those they can. But others might hire prostitutes and kill them, or target a certain race, etc. Likewise, they have their own methods for doing so, sometimes quite ritualised. It is very unlikely that the people responsible for executions are actually serial killers in disguise.

Answer 3

Send them to fight the wars... the same as what should be done with many of those in prison, they want to fight and hurt people and do ugly things, That would be the place for them to be, but that is just my opinion, sick of them getting better attention all around than we the good folks out here working hard to make our way in life and paying for them to eat better and get better medical and a roof over their head ... I best stop there, getting off track of the question sorry ...

Answer 4

And you're absolutely positive they're guilty? There isn't even consensus between states what to do. Half the states have no death penalty, or don't use it. Texas uses it more than all other states combined. Is there less crime there? Life in prison, the same in every state. And life means life.

Answer 5

I would have them as cheap labor for stuff that can be made without leaving the prison. ALl the Items that say made in China or whatever could say made in USA but because they are using criminals to make them the stuff can be made for the same low prices. I know it sounds kind of mean to make people work on the cheap however the people in China are doing it for US companiesand they havn't even committed crimes so why not have criminals do it. Big companies might love it cause now they don't have to import stuff.

Answer 6

I think we should send them to war. Reasons
1 They already know how to use a gun.
2 They don't have a problem with killing people.
3 FREE [ we don't have to pay them].
4 Saves the lives of useful citizens.

Answer 7

There's no "instead". If they've been proven beyond a doubt to be real murderers or rapists, they should die.

To snuff out a human life in cold blood is evil, and killing those on death row is done more 'humanely' than the way those murderers did their crimes!

Answer 8

Harvest their body parts one organ at a time , then then when they have just enough to live on , put them on standby for accident victims . Any money made this way goes to their victims.

Answer 9

start a tv show and let the audience decide how to execute the prisoner and then raffle the right to pull the switch to the lucky winner.

We could call it the weekly burning
or who's hanging now/

Or maybe a shot in the dark

or perhaps one little prick here, one little prick there

endless patterns

Answer 10

If you kill them they will not be taught a lesson,right?
Force them to get them educated.
Then under supervision,let them do thousands of hours of community service.
Won't that make them humble?

Answer 11

Make sausage out of them? Oh wait, that still involves killing. How about making them listen to emo music 24/7? Oh wait...dammit, still involves killing.....
