I'm sure there are many here that do not agree with my position on capital punishment but that is not the reason I decided to create this post.
No? Tell me why and what would you consider more efficient and humane.

I would rather criminals worthy of the death penalty having to stay in prison for the entirety of their lives. That seems more punishment to me. Keep them alive in a box for decades.
%$#@ 'em...
I disagree. Bleeding hearts in society have forced the system to give prisoners too many creature comforts. Last I read, it costs (natl ave) $35,000 a year to take care of each one.
For people who kill children, or commit a mass killing, they should be put in a "place" where any adult who wants to, can enter and throw one item at him. Can anyone live through that for long, do you think?
lol at creature comforts in prison, and your math is backward...apparently it actually costs more to execute prisoners.
