MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
In extreme cases, I think I could solve the problem entirely. You put the worst of the worst (like that guy who cut a woman open to kill the baby and then killed her) in a tiny little room just wide enough to hold a bed. Then you sever their spinal cord in order to cause quadriplegia. Then you insert a feeding tube that sustains their life (the contents thereof supplied by non-death-row inmates making the nutrient liquid). Then you wall them up and leave them there so they can experience a life of being totally unable to move, trapped in their own bodies and soiling themselves until infection or nature causes death. (And the liberals like to think I'm a nice guy.)
The rest? Rope is damned cheap.
Executions are ineffective as a deterrent because they happen privately and as humanely as possible.
If you want executions to deter people from engaging in illegal activities, they should be horribly brutal and public.
And yep, I'm for that.
I agree on the public part.
There's a good chance of changing someone's mindset, once they've watched a serial rapist doing the rope dance.
