Didn't do much today. Stayed after for SWA: took our picture for the yearbook, and worked on stories for the morning announcements. I was supposed to go to the DMV today... which didn't happen. Next week I hope.

The death penalty. I want your opinion. Go.

Your idea of the prison these days isn't that difficult. Cell sizes are of the least of problems, and work passes aren't uncommon.

They let a man who killed 13 people out just to see the ashes of his dad. He killed 13 people, does he really deserve that special privaledge? He probably got it because of good behaviour. And if he continues on that trend imagine what other privaledges he will get.

-Also, in responce to the 'its not a deterrant'

If you know for a fact that you could kill eight people and have no further sentence then a life in a cell where all your meals are provided, you rarely work a difficult job, and if you're good you can end up with extra comforts you might be tempted to do it. If you knew you were gonna die clearly some people are gonna drop out of the running. Of course theres going to be the phsyco ones who'd go through it till the end. That doesn't mean we're not preventing crime with the death penalty.
