Even though I work in a police department, I've never liked the idea of the death penalty. Not because of all the whiny liberal shit, (although it really doesn't make much sense to kill somebody for killing somebody...) I've just always believed that letting somebody live and making them miserable is a much worse punishment than putting them out of misery...
Take Jeffrey Dahmer for instance. I don't recall if he was on Death Row or not (I don't think he was), but he was made to suffer every single day that he was in prison by his fellow inmates, up until the day he was killed. I think something like that is much harsher than telling Timoth McVeigh "Here is your cell, you will be left alone until the day you die. Nobody will touch you, nobody will be able to hurt you. Congratulations, any guilt you may feel will be gone shortly..." I'd rather see him thrown out into the general population where he will be somebody's bitch for the next 40 or 50 years...
