[ExistentialDisorder]

Do you think they segregate murderers from other prisoners? Maybe in some penitentiaries, but not in most. They're put in with other violent criminals, until they run out of room.

I don't look at the death penalty as either vengeance or a viable deterrent. Its punishment, plain and simple. There is no deterrent from killing somebody if that's really what someone wants to do. A lot of them believe they'll never be caught anyway, so it doesn't matter to them what 'deterrents' are put in place.

And you can thank the bleeding heart liberals for cable tv and other luxuries in prison. At some point they decided prisoners were being treated unfairly and harsh by forcing them into various labors and denying various luxuries. So little by little prison has grown into a place where now a lot of people look at it as an easy way to get everything handed to them. There are people who don't want out of prison because then they'd have to actually earn their living. When they get out or parolled they deliberately do something that will send them right back to prison because they think its easier in there than out here. And in a lot of ways it is.
