Capital Punishment

I used to be so adamantly FOR the death penalty. 100% stick it to them they deserve to die. An eye for an eye was my motto. Do it now....don't wait for twenty five years. My thought on this changed this week. You would think that I would feel a strong desire for revenge for the person who killed Scott's aunt Carol. I want justice, but my heart tells me that taking another life for a life is wrong. I feel forgiveness and mercy for this woman who so clearly lost her mind that day. However, this does not mean that I think she should not be punished for her crime. I just wish our government would create a prison system that people would fear to have to end up. How compfy to have three square meals a day; t.v.; college education and a roof over their heads. I once read of a Sherrif in Arizona who made his prisoners wear pink and eat balogna sandwiches everyday. They live in tents with no air conditioning and worked hard labor everyday. I wonder how his town did as far as a crime rate?
