I say life in prison, because death is a shortcut, and to assume one feels punishment in the afterlife most likely means one violates one's own 'religious beliefs' by condeming another to death in the first place.
Death penalty or life in prison.
Give a two sentence MAX response to justify your reasoning.
I want this to be an easy, non-argument, informative poll.

Yea 3 squares a day. Maybe some hard labor. Read a nice book. Relax and write a book...
That's no punishment.. .they got people in Mexico that are homeless going to jail just to get taco's and free laundry..
In the other one your heart stops.. yo know.. that thing...
no i dont know. I have no idea what happens after one's heart stops. Actually you didn't explain your point well at all, and you used more than the requested number of sentences.
They each have their application and neither is related to the severity of the punishment.
They should make it so a fat person with a huge and unwiped ass should sit on your face. You get food and air through machines.
Why? What'd the big fat guy with the stinky butt do?
Get paid and eat food while taking more poops. Just bombard the guy relentlessly.
Or we can have the guy held in a cell and everyday for an hour he gets done by a horse and his wounds are repaired and he is done again for maximum damage!
That may be, but I was asking what you think is the harsher punishment
Lif in prison is harsher. I couldnt do it. Besides, to live is Christ but to die is gain.
Harsh?
Tookie had access to drugs, booze, sex, tv, dvd's, games etc. He also was rumored to have commited sexual assaults and various other organized crimes while locked up.
Sounds like a lot of fun compared to being dead.
I'm pretty sure you die
naturally but my point is how can a state of death be punishment
to me, vashner seemed to be alluding to something else besides non-existence, and what that something is, i have no idea
When your on death row in Texas your in solitary confinement. I'm pretty sure the rules are the same in CA.
death penalty if it wasnt such a pussy event now. that needle in the arm . kill them the way they killed their victims.
plus i dont want to pay for someone to spend life in jail.
Death is harsher, Solitary in Texas Dan means you get to come out 1hr a day for Recreation, and to take a shower.
You also have access to your lawers, the Law Library, College, A Minister, Medical care, Visitation
from your family, and if you have political pull, or friends of the Hollywood type, the
Warden can authorize them to visit you.
Solitary = Private Room
I think the harsher punishment goes to those in power practicing the death penalty. But that is based on my Christian beliefs, of course.
For the inmate, probably life in prison is harsher, living life never to come out, instead of dying and getting it over with.
I've never thought about it, your question is irrelevant to premise behind why we either execute or imprison for life. Punishment is not the goal; the demands of justice and regard to public safety are what should drive the sentencing.
Frankly, anything is too good for a capital murderer.
Life in prison is harsher. At least with the death penalty, you have a good chance to make your case. No one cares about those sentenced to life.
Okay I'll give you that one but reading the posts of alot of people in here, I saw alot of more demands for punishment than justice, which is what spurred me to make this poll.
on poll CBF
I had rather face death than life, but that is just me. For others it may be the extreme opposite. For those that want life in prison rather than death be given death and those that fear life be given life? It doesn't matter which may be the percieved "harder" sentence but which is deemed just by the jury of peers.
I think there is another question that should be asked: Do we only want punishment? Is that all what prisons are for? What about rehabilitation? Isn't it possible?
My butt says life in prison in a harsher punishment.
Yonivore seemed to say the same thing.
Let's take a step backward then and ask why is the death penalty considered more "just" than life in prison?
I've been reading off and on about all the tookie and execution related threads, not one person has given a good, coherent argument why a death penalty is 'more just' than life in prison. Most of the arguments seem circular.
