I am firmly and utterly against the death penalty being introduced in Australia. I think that people miss the point. The death penalty is about revenge not justice. It is about making the people who made you suffer, suffer in front of a crowd. I also have no problem with the cusshy nature of gaols. I think people think that gaol is comfortable need to get their heads checked. The idea of gaol at least in my opion is a) to protect the general populous from dangerous peopler and b) to give people time to contemplate their crimes and hopefully give them a chance to repent and change.
I understand that my objective b may rarely be meet but I still think it’s important. Got any more ideas of what prisions should achieve let us know. Comment.
