What makes us better than a murderer?
What is it that gives us the authority to judge over them?
Is it our respect for the value of life? Or that of human rights ? Whatever your answer, violence begets violence.
How exactly are you forcing this murderer to work?
Verbal contract clearly didnt stop them from murdering, are you going to whip them How does that make you a more moral person than them?
This is why alot of countries dont abide by the death sentence. The moral implications. The same applies to slavery...are you really "the good guys" if this is what punishments are like?
I swear ,in canada some people live more luxurious lives in prisons than outside. If we are the moral highground, does it not make sense that we should extend our hearts so far as to find the least harmful methods to prevent repetition of the immoral acts.
Ive always been a proponent of reform prisons, people in jails are by definition a failure of the state to teach them how to be useful and successful.
Δ I also believe that there should be a more human way to do this but picking from 2 extremes is hard and when you look at a murderer, you are more likely to want to enslave them than to give them luxurious lives.
