Watched an episode of "Murder to Remember" on Investigation Discovery, and the guy got rightfully executed for what he did. This was back in the early 1940's though, when justice was swift, and even possibly unfair or fatal for the wrongfully convicted.
My stepfather worked one of the victims of the Olson case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_Olson
It left him disturbed at times, to think about that, even a couple decades later. What he saw was never released to media, and I won't repeat it, but the fucker should have been exterminated, in my opinion. Yet, my stepfather was NOT a proponent of the death penalty.
My opinion? Why NOT terminate these fuckers, as long as we are sure the correct individual is guilty of said crimes?
My stepfather argued that the death penalty is not a deterrent, and to this I will agree.
Nonetheless, why shouldn't we exterminate the worst of the worst? I'm not talking about a guy that kills his wife in a fit of drunken rage, after catching her with another man... Those cases are different.
I'm talking the Bundy's, the Olson's, the Dahmer's...

No Western country uses the death penalty anymore..
South Korea and Taiwan have it, but never use it.

I am absolutely in favor of it provided the person getting it is guilty.

I think you meant to say other than the United States and that is true.
I have no problem sending a Paul Bernardo or Clifford Olson to death. Hell, I'll even be the hangman.
I am not opposed to the death penalty in for the most horrific murders. And of course there is no question about guilt.
I don't really think a lot about these non economic issues.
I favour expulsion to an isolated island. Drop them off with a knife, flint, blanket, and pot. Don't let them escape. If they're still alive in 10 years, let them out.

Economically, there is an advantage to terminating people like Clifford Olson. Housing them for life costs $$$...

I remember reading that the real costs are for trials..
A murder trial is very expensive and of course so are appeals.
Death is a release..
Making sure the murderer suffers on earth for the rest of his/her life would be better..

Housing 1 inmate per year in Canada costs over $100,000. All of their medical and dental is paid for.
Children who are poverty stricken dont even get any help. The system is wrong.
Prisons are a business. There is a shit load pf money to be made off these useless criminals. The guards make money off inmates for bringing in drugs and other banned collateral into the prison. ..even cell phones...those guards make a killing by abusing that.

Lol I hate to say this but you're quite right, I remember my 2nd brother used to work as a top security correctional officer in Kingston, Ontario and told me his starting wage was about 65K a year and there's already like 1 officer for every 8 inmates, along with hundreds of other professional staff and the prison facility is built to offer the service of a small town like work shops, chapel, kitchen, gym, recreational center and all other service, while no other facility can offer service close to this aside from a one and only 10 billion USD super aircraft carriers, which even China can't afford or have the tech to construct. Along with the government pays inmates money to go to school, pays them money to take a bath and to learn other trade skills, just so they save up enough money to last for a while right after being released from prison. In the end the system is just so imbalance and could seriously learn a thing or 2 from how Japan can manage to use their prisoners to a level productive enough to even help build a city, while ours are paid to do nothing, or least nothing productive in return.

Its absolutely ridiculous! And yes their starting wages are ridiculously high.
What pisses me off most is the amount recourses available to inmates and they dont take them seriously. Most of them are repeat offenders...so that proves that rehabilitation doesnt work.
Fuck the rehabilitation, put them to work for zero pay...you dont get and work, throw them in the hole.
As for criminals commiting serious crimes like muder or raping/molesting a child....a quick bullet to the head. Bye bye fucker. Theres too many people in this world to care about these pukes. Take that money and use it to help educate children and provide resources for law abiding citizens who want to do good in their lives. Treat inmates lile cattle in prison and maybe they might think twice before committing stupid crimes.

A big chunk of that is salaries and defined benefit pension plans. It sure as hell does not cost that much to house and feed inmates.

That's not how a business operates. That's a sinkhole for tax dollars like many government departments.

Some posters are lazy, or simply do not know or care, how to edit out quotes from their posts.
In many forums, this is done for them automatically. Here, it is not.
However, I thank you for taking the time to tell me something that I already now, albeit unknowingly...

Sounds like vigilante slavery.
Look at the prison population of the US. Per capita it outstrips every other. The greater portion of that population are there because of victimless and often drug related prosecutions. That 'war on drugs'.
Those people are the victims. Not the State. The State is a figment of imagination. It doesn't actually exist. There are just people on this planet. Some harm themselves. Some harm others. Some pretend to be various flag supporters of fictitious cults called government simply because their parents once fcked or gave birth within imaginary boundaries.
Criminality is more often than not a big fat lie with inhumane consequences.
I'm surprised that you're so gung ho about criminality when you've admitted to being a chronic pot smoker, Berry.

There's no doubt the wages for federal prisons and the union backing them up need to be scrapped asap. Even my 2nd brother that work there told me he felt like a thief everyday, getting paid every hour just to sit in front of a bunch of CCTV, or another day sitting next to a patient sleeping on the hospital bed after completing a surgery and him just reading the news paper. The movies and documentaries always like make a big deal out of maximum security prisons, but in reality my brother says it's one of the most simplest jobs that can exist despite how he manage to get in for 1 in every 3000 applicants. And yea rehabilitation isn't that effective either, like my brother had said the prison is the best place were inmates all huddle together to share their knowledge on how to commit more effective crimes, making it harder for cops to catch them, if rehabilitation works, it's only effective on the inmates house in minimum security prisons. And I totally agree with what you've said, for serious offenders they should just save us tax payer's money by offering the simple solution of putting a bullet in their heads. :fgj(5):
