Please include all costs for imprisonment too, because you anti death penalty folks seem to forget that living expenses dont stop after a few years when someone is confined, they exist until that person dies which can be something like 50 years and if YOU want solitary confinement more often, make it MORE expensive because now they all need thier own rooms. with lights and working toilets. Unless youre saying we should throw them into confined earthen cells with moldy bread to eat and live in darkness for years on end... then I might be inclined to change my mind. Of course you dont mean that though.... you want to coddle the scum of humanity.
Sure, why not.

What you miss in your ferverent zeal to bring suffering upon your fellow human beings is the actual concept of profit. It is profitable to society to have prisoners working productively rather than suffering. It is profitable for society to have people emerge from prisons with a reduced rather than heightened chance of continuing in a life of crime.


When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
