The rehabilitation thing looks like it would work IF there was a way to guarantee that the criminal has no desire left to commit crimes.

Forgive me for the obscure childish reference, but

When Man-Ray was released accidentally by SS and PS, he returned to his evil ways. However, using MM and BB’s Tickle-Belt, SS and PS were able to defeat Man-Ray. Even after Man-Ray faked goodness to escape the clutches of the Tickle-Belt, its effect lingered whenever he tried to be evil. Thus, Man-Ray’s desire to do evil was completely suppressed. If this was possible in reality, then it WOULD be more effective than simple death.

In this way, the death penalty remains effective for the worst criminals, the ones that truly refuse to change. The ones that can change will be spared since they will be reformed after the intense therapy.

This treatment can be universally applied.

A teenager that kills can be corrected and become a good person later on in life. The same applies for a smaller child, or an adult. This process allows everyone multiple chances at being a good person.

This process is potentially more effective than always using the death penalty. If implemented, it could reduce the number of people that are “wrongfully convicted”.

If people are getting owned and convicted without actually being guilty,

then the legal system is more ****ed up than i am.

Fix the legal system and problem is solved.

newsflash – humans are fallible

one of the reasons the legal system is ****ed up is because many states still use the death penalty

getting rid of the death penalty is a part of fixing the legal system.

that’s significantly more reasonable than my original suggestion, is it not?

also, this one actually makes sense

if someone refuses to change their ways, then they are a serious threat

if someone can be converted into a good person, then they should be allowed to do so

this system gives everyone 2 chances to be good, allowing everyone a chance to reform

if the intense therapy fails to work, then the criminal never had hope of becoming good again

if it does work, then a person has just been saved, converted, and let back into society as a good person

imo this system is more humane than just using the death penalty / life imprisonment

according to earlier posts, it can be much cheaper as well

allowing the criminals and the taxpayers to get the best of both worlds

Damn. Too bad it’s factually incorrect (pic)

YOU ARE NOT SAVING MONEY OR SANITY. The death penalty is MORE expensive.

It costs more to kill the people than it does to keep them in prison. Since these people were all convicted of crimes, they get to go through the rehabilitation process before any judgment is made on the status of their punishments. This means that the people in the picture are

1. not necessarily sentenced to life imprisonment

2. not necessarily going to cost anyone money

There is no certainty that these people have even committed a serious crime, so they could be let off without the therapy process.

lol

why lol?

CP = capital punishment

LiP = Life In Prison

i do not think it was a typographical error on his part

Lol because CP usually means child porn.

so this new system should be fairly effective correct?

eye for an eye imo

people that kill should lose there life
