Alabama tries a new method of execution.  Rated a success by alabama but it took 30 minutes for him to die! I thought execution had to be humane?  Govenor saying other states should adopt Nitrogen asphication.  I

iF CNN is a bit too hippy-dippy, how about the BBC.

Bullet to the head surely be best?

Some fcuk up and the whole execution thing I'd question.


To prove killing someone is wrong let's go kill that person. An actual life sentence in prison should be the punishment for those murders.

No death penalty would surely be best?

How many states have the death penalty ? Mostly southern states with a blood thirsty governor ?

[Milltown Row2]

Nearly half!

Was listening to the reports on that latest death in Alabama, sounded horrific

[Jell 0 Biafra]

The federal government also has the death penalty, which means there are executions in some states that don't themselves have the death penalty.

Fair correlation with Republican states unsurprisingly.

In Maghaberry maybe, but death probably a better alternative than a lot of places in the US.

True. Prison should be hard and punishing every minute of every day. Basic food provision, no menus or choice etc. and hard labour daily. No Internet, TV in a cell, computer games or degree courses.

Sounds like my life in the 70's

Prisoners across the world, had better conditions than I had growing up

Was just thinking that. Why all these ridiculously elaborate methods.

It's funny but in recent years,  Olympic and World Cup host countries (Russia,  Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc) have been  criticised for their attitude/laws/death penalties  towards  gays, women etc.  Yet the US has hosted numerous events and not a word about attitudes to same, and their  death penalty.

Remember seeing a  documentary  a while ago , and it basically looks  like  the US prison system is a  cheap labour camp for big business.  People thrown in jail for  having a break light  out or  a baldy tyre. Big businesses have a contract with the prisons so  they basically  are paying little to nothing  for labour
