Too fat to execute? Give me a break....

Wanted to add, before and when me and hubby got married, he worked as a prison guard and well as the swat team.

He said they get 4 course meals 3 times a day. They can also buy as many snacks as they want once a day from the commensary (complete with jumbo burritos, bags of chips, candy and those tub soups.)

The minimum security get snacks for free.

AND he worked in a maximum security prison, in the maximum security unit...which means not only have these people murdered, they have been violent in other prisons. They were locked down 23 hours a day... And they still get all of these amenities.

Yup -- some inmates are treated better than most families on welfare. Free room and board, free food, plus you can even get a college degree in prison!!! Please don't think that I'm saying that some people can't change because I know in my heart people can and DO change, but I don't pity any inmates -- first off, for the reasons they ended up there, and secondly, they probably eat more food a day than I do, and MY tax dollars are paying for it.

WOW!!! That's alot of food available. I figured they got three meals and that was it. I guess the family members could bring food in too.

I have said it before and I will say it again....

GO BACK TO FARM PRISONS.

Make these jerk off inmates WORK for their keep. Make them work and provide a service. I am so SICK of people saying it is cruel to make them work for less than minimum wage.

WORK... under the watchful eye or fully armed guards and at the first sign of disturbance you will be shot and killed... PERIOD.

Sorry... you kill someone in cold blood... you rape someone... you forfeit your rights... PERIOD.

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Sparks I agree. Work, not get paid, and not have ANY amenities. Just the bare minimum.. roof, toilet, showers once every few days. 2 meals a day of the bare minimum.

NO beds, tv, ball courts, magazines, books, gym equipment....


Daisy and Delilah- Some prisons do allow it. At my hubbys they couldnt, because they were all violent criminals, with reoccuring assaults on other inmates and officers. But then again, it is a Max security prison, not medium or minimal,...

I may get flamed for this but oh well...I hardly agree with execution as it is, but for people to suggest hanging now come on. That is just plain wrong, IMO. Whether you like it or not he's a human being. A sick bastard? Yes but he's a human being. Hanging would make you no better then he is..and not to mention it just plain cruel. I am glad the lethal injection came along but to me execution isn't right.

He's still a sick bastard and being fat is no excuse. If you look at his picture in the article he doesn't look that bad. My other question is why is he so fat IN PRISION? Dont they make him work or limit how much food intake they get?

Eta-Nevermind just saw kt_luvs_cats post. I didn't know they could get snacks anytime they wanted. I think they should still need to work though.
