I guess Im not well versed on the prison life.. but to me.. just being somewhere where I dont have freedoms to do what I want is punishment. They cannot see their families whenever they want...
How would you think the person that was murdered might feel if he/she was able to do so? We're forgetting one very important thing here. The person that was killed in the commission of a crime has been greatly inconvienced if not worse. Do we completely forget this fact so we don't make it difficult on the person who committed the crime?
[What about all the rest of them? The ones that WERE innocent?
My father used to tell me that everybody in prison always swore that they were innocent... I think not. While I do agree with you that from time to time an innocent person is arrested, conviceted and sent to prison and maybe even death row but that is far more the exception rather than the rule. There are 1000's of people on death row. I don't think justice is served by not executing those on death row just because 1 of those 1000 people may be innocent. You can bet that the 1 in a 1000 guys that is actually innocent is not what you would call a "model" citizen. What about the rights of the people that were murdered? Don't they count or once they have been killed do they suddenly become a non-issue?
