Do you guys think that criminals should be tortured?

[QUOTE="Omni-Wrath"]

Why should they get the chair. WHAT WILL KILLING THEM DO ANYTHING?

Just let them rot in kail it's more than enough.

The only way I see it to see a decrese in crime would be like if not the police but some divine being would start a mass crusade against criminals and killed everone one of them, maybe that would decrease it.

well, for one - I'd prefer my tax dollars taken out of my pay check didn't go to buy child/mass murderers food, medical care, and toilet tissue as they sit in prison... but rather, to something a bit more useful...

I think the family should decide. Final say so being the wife or husband, which absent, to the parents.

it matters what they do and why they do it.

Cruelty is learned. If you punish people with tortue you're only reaffirming their lot in life to begin with.

The cruel, vindicative, and downright mean side of me, which is the dominant part, says hell yes, lets do it.

The other side of me, the one that tells me to adhere to the laws set in place by my superiors, tells me to do no more than I am allowed.

Unfortunately, to not wind up in prison myself, or be thought as some degenerate psychopathic lunatic, I have to listen to that last part and not do whatever I feel like when doing my job.

That is never going to happen.
