Whether your pro death penalty or not, the criminal should not be deciding their own fate. If anything, it should be left up to the family of the victim. In fact, if the criminal said they wanted to die, I'd be more likely to make them live a full life in prison.Quote:

They aren’t terminally ill or suffering pain. They don’t meet either criteria. Not wanting to be in prison doesn’t even come close to either criteria. It’s about as night and day as you can get.Quote:

Save the money and help people in need instead of paying the prison system millions of dollars to keep someone in prison for their lifetime. In business, it's called a sunk cost. Keeping them in prison for their punishment serves no one.
Whether you believe that prisoners are in jail for vengeance or rehab. they are there to serve their time for their crime. keywords: Serve their time. No prison escape, no escape from their time own to society for their crimes.Quote:
