DEATH ROW--death penalty in America

[Blindgreed1]

Basically what HotD said about the costs associated with actually putting someone to death. My comment regarding a death row environment is that I don't think the worst of the worst ought to have opportunities to pursue an education, spend hours outdoors with the general population etc. I don't think they should necessarily have the option to gain privileges that some other inmates might have access to.

People always say the "fix" is speeding up the death penalty process. I don't think that's going to happen.

And, with regards to Texas, I just read an article from The Atlantic that cites a decline in executions there resulting from several Supreme Court decisions (can't execute those who committed crimes before age 18, problems with the lethal injection drugs etc). Can't post the link from my phone.

IIRC, California hasn't executed anyone in over 10 years. Waste of money for a non deterrent as far as I'm concerned.

Even if they were wrongly accused? Just playing a little devils advocate here.
