Ok

What is it

I believe that the whole prison system needs to be changed

Changed how

They should get treated well get proper education and be able to get a job when they go out, less guards would be needed,

Because with help most people don't come back

While that may somewhat be correct

I disagree

Y

Many of those arrested for serious crimes like murder or rape have psychological problems and are more likely to do the same crime again

If they are contained they would not be able to do those crimes

Or if they are killed via the death penalty

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
