The death penalty has never worked as a successful deterrent. Basically we're just murdering people for no reason. Now, if they actually fixed the justice system so that is wasn't rigged against certain people, and you actually had irrefutable evidence that someone has raped or murdered someone, then either turn them over to the family of the vicitm to decide what they want to do, or expel them to a small deserted island with nothing. It would be wiser to prevent the crime from happening in the first place by eliminating poverty, legalizing drugs, and educating people.

Legalizing drugs huh?? How the fuck would that make things better?

How has prohibition made things better? Gangs would have one less thing to kill eachother over...and over 2 million people wouldn't be in prision if drugs were treated as a medical issue.
