Wanted your opinion on something - usually when some f***ed up crime happens like a rape or some murder or kidnapping - some people say the criminal should be hanged or worse - tortured or something.

Do you think that putting out heinous punishments for heinous crimes acts as a deterrent for future potential criminals or nah?

no i don’t support capital punishment or executions

giving the state the ability to torture and kill its own citizens

what could go wrong

Death is the easy way out. They should live to reflect and regret their actions.

To a certain degree. Crazy people will be crazy regardless and do f***ed up things without caring about the punishment.

Wouldn’t mind Pedophiles being chemically castrated. That’s about it.

For war criminals

Lol no

I just think that living would be torture for them no?

michel foucault discipline and punish

Torturing option has to be available if things get really bad.

In theory yeah but it’s like ellinia posted up there ^ crazy people will do f***ed up things without caring about a punishment. Some people are beyond being capable or repentance. For example someone that harms a child to me is a lost cause, like who doesn’t know not to harm a child from the get go? They need years of prison to reflect on it? Cmon man f*** those people let them die

I don’t believe the state should have the right to end anyone’s life without their consent. Thieves in Jamaica get beaten and get their hands chopped off but niggas are still out there stealing s*** so no I don’t think capital punishment is a real deterrent.

No torture

Executions is a tough thing

I’d like to be against them, but then I think about what if someone did it to my family

no I don’t like the eye for an eye mentality. It’s a vicious circle.

I disagree. Jail is not a punishment.

Jail has free food and a place to sleep....something that even innocent homeless people dont have.

If they catch someone stealing, slice his arm off. If someone gets caught raping, slice his d*** off. And all killers should end up dead imo

but hey, that's just me and I'm an idiot

Punishment has never been a useful deterrent

He right

It's as good as a deterrent there is

That's why the repeat offender rate is so high?

Edit: in the us

example?

People serve periods of their lives and or live experiences and a reasonable number of them then understand

w making reference to external variables the court like w the 'time fitting the crime' are among very many other things to factor

bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=6266

An estimated 68% of released prisoners were arrested within 3 years, 79% within 6 years, and 83% within 9 years. (2005-2014)

Edit: These aren't specific towards heinous crimes, just demonstrating in general that the punitive system doesn't work
