I never fail to be amazed how long inmates are left on Death row.

I wonder how many die while waiting to be killed.

And there's us ...kicking ours out because of overcrowding and yet they languish for decades.

Quite a lot I would say seeing as it has been reported all over the place .
Lots of people have sad lives and abusive childhoods .
They don't however all go on to be sadistic murderers .

Just looked it up Mups. Seems that 25-30% die of natural causes, suicide or other non punishment related incidents (I guess that mean accidents or fights or attacks 🤷🏻�♂️)

I guess that saves the authorities having to do it.
It seems all wrong though.

It's because if their endless appeal system .

As opposed to what happened in the U.K. when CP was in force.

Eg Derek Bentley with a mental age of around 11 and was in police custody at the time his younger friend shot and killed a policeman was hanged 7 weeks after his conviction .

( a terrible miscarriage of justice IMO )

That is a punishment in itself..
Days.. months.. years.. never knowing if today will be the day.. Mental torture..

We don't have any compunction at all about killing our fellow man in wartime. But some people want us to keep the most heinous criminals incarcerated for their whole life. I can't make sense of that,
