I'd like everybody to decide democratically on the punishments regarding offenders, I interact enough to notice the systematic flaws & the amount of people griping about the system & more importantly there personal opinion on what there thought the punishment should have been, the public wouldn't be involved in assessing evidence or deciding guilt, when guilts been established 100% beyond any doubt, the public then decide, the offender whichever way you look at it gets punished/sentenced, nobody is circumventing any procedural processes before conviction, absolutely no differences emerge past the point before the judge sentences, the judge is displaced by the public to sentence.
Guilt isn't always established 100% beyond any doubt, that's why I gave you examples, which I'll assume you didn't check out.
We've got very recent examples of people going to prison for crimes they didn't commit and you're trying to tell me that you want capitol punishment...
We've also got examples of people managing to avoid prison for crimes its reasonable to assume they did commit because our justice system failed in their duty.
We see people in the heat of the moment saying child abusers should be hung, but on the flip side we see false accusations against people resulting in assault or suicide.
Capitol punishment is not a deterrent, if it was it then the USA wouldn't have such a massive number of prisoners, 1 out of every 100 people.
Is our prison system soft?
Yes it is, I know people who've been to prison and they'll tell you it's easy to do.
I know some people who don't want to go back in so they behave themselves but we have a massive number of repeat offenders in this country because prison isn't a hardship for them.
We don't do enough to block mobile phone signals for example, or stop drugs getting in etc.
