Should Britain bring back the death sentence?

Can't they just build cheap, gloomy prisons which don't cost alot, but are secure enough to hold prisoners? I would rather murderers and people who stab people for no reason should suffer in prisons, that only have a crappy bed and a toilet. Not luxuries like current prisons.

that's what i think they should do. like a 1.5meter x 1.5meter concrete walls, no windows whatso ever and they should be shocked with electric every so often. and they should have to lie in there own leavings and the only time they get to see anyone is when someone pushes a plate of out of date mash through the door. Uhhh they get me so angry for what they've done and maybe if they do start treating prisonners like crap maybe criminals will think again.

Funny how they have money to build a big super-casino but can't 'afford' or 'find space' for more prisons

I say no to the death penalty... Its an easy way out - dieing for your the crime you've committed. Besides, you might be innocent of what you've been setenced for.

Going to prison makes you learn for your mistakes..

Britain should NOT have a death penalty. No human has the right to take away another human life, no matter what they done. Its also an easy opt out for people who done awful things. I think their whole life in prison is good though.

A perfectly rational society would either put these people to some use or be put to death.

I don't see why they don't use them to test drugs and cosmetics on instead of animals.

Personally, I think they should. Too many people get away with things these days and its clearly not fair.

Maybe, but only in the situation when they'll never be released from prison or as an alternative towards the death penalty. Leave the choice up to the condemned man.

I doubt they gave what/whom they committed the crime against a choice. Why kill a perfectly good human when you can try and find the cure for cancer using them?

Saves the money and the hassle of keeping them.
