Yes I see that point most people who are in prison don't come back after they have had proper help and support, only a few would come back

I think an immediate question that needs to be raised is on the evidence that capital punishment reduces crime rates by deterrence. If so, it might be worth instituting it as part of the criminal justice system.

I agree

Is there a negative correlation between executions and murders? In other words, do executions lower the murder rates?

Criminals should still have rights and most of the time it's just that they made mistake or got mixed in the wrong people

For evidence see Norway's prison system

And, there is the problem of executing an innocent person. Hopefully with todays technology and system, the odds are near zero

Norway has very low crime rate, very few prisoners and is one of the safest countries

If you imprison an innocent person, and figure it out. You can reimburse them.

@tha cheeseburger What is their secret to low crime?

U.S. struggles with it much more

Few commit crimes after leaving

Rehabilitation?

Yes

They give out education as well

I think mandatory rehab would be a much better alternative than minimum sentencing for the drug war.

Their biggest prison is just a few wooden houses on a island and a few guards

No one has broken out it works really well, u don't have a reason to leave

They can just have casual conversations with the guards, they have no guns on them I think

Places like Guantanamo bay used to torture prisoners, U.S. based.

Every prison system should be like Norway's

IMO

The CIA used to waterboarding to simulate drowning to force suspected terrorists to give out information.

Yes and how else could they have gotten info

They actually did studies on torture

And found out it isn't very effective

The prisoners often gave out false information

It's not but if u made good relationships with prisoners they would be more likely to give info

Indeed

The prison system in the UK where I live is just shit

The U.S. has more prisoners than any other country I think

U can get a few years by just having a knife outside

Yea it's the country of the free and it's has the most people in prison

🤔

America sounds like a shit place rn, u don't even have free health care

Whats going on here

Anyone want to debate on something else

Debating capital punishments

Sure what?

What religion u have

I'm a Mormon
