I worked in the Criminal Justice System for over twenty years and a large portion of that time was spent in jails. I've had everything from petty theft to high profile murderers. For the better part of one year my main duty was handling a group of murderers. They were rather easy to deal with as most had more on their minds than giving me a rash of crap.
The problem with our criminal justice system is we as a society haven't decided what to do with a person who commits a crime. What we hear is they have a debt to society, and that's simply skirting the issue. A person convicted in Arkansas for theft doesn't owe me, a member of society, anything. The only person he owes is the one he stole from. So the question is, why do we put people in jail or prison? Is it for punishment or to protect society. If its for punishment then its not nearly severe enough. If its to protect society then why let them out unless we're convinced they won't repeat.
I'm sort of ambivalent on the death issue. But, given that it does exist I strongly believe it should be applicable given certain conditions and circumstances to career criminals, child rapists, arsonists, and extreme assault such as throwing acid into a person face, et al.
