Should we do away with the electric chair as a means of executing murderer's and get an electric couch so we can get rid of four at a time?

We should not get rid of the chair.
What I don't understand is these people whom are on death row, are screaming that the lethal injection is "cruel and unusual punishment". I have did some college reports on the electric chair and let me tell you, Id rather be executed by lethal injection any day.
I think they need to have the chair for the "extreme" crimes (i.e. child molesters whom murdered their prey, etc.)
I like the idea of the electric couch.

I realize a murderer who is sentenced to death has had the full abundance of the American justice system and rarely does an error occur in these types of judgments. Only in cases where guilt is firmly established is death a viable option. Having said that, we should also remember that even the condemned are people and have families who love them. Such a suggestion of getting rid of them rings of communism and torture camps. That's not the way decent people should think. We should feel nothing but sympathy for all involved.

Having been in law enforcement for over 30 years, nothing is more discouraging that watching our judicial system attacked by those who feel our system of laws and punishments are lacking.
I don't think the laws and punishments are lacking, I believe the funding to provide for more correctional officers and prisons is lacking. I further believe that a true understanding of the seriousness, cost, and effect of these criminals is lacking!
There is no excuse for violating the criminal laws of the country. Lets not include minor infractions of 5mph over the speed limit or a verbal argument in public....I'm referring to the callous indiscriminate disregard for causing harm to others.
Despite the "overcrowding" problem...oh well...one could use every cliche' in the book but the one that always comes to the front of my mind..."don't want the time...don't do the crime!"
In my opinion....jails and prisons are not for rehabilitation but for punishment. Chain gangs, hard labor, and confinement are just that.....punishment. Again...don't like it...don't break the law.
Air conditioning, heating, television, visitation, three square meals a day, free room and board, and free medical are the luxuries that go with being confined at tax payers expense!
My personal opinion....forget the couch...hook up the electrodes to a king sized water bed!

As long as we make using an apostrophe to pluralize a capital crime.
