58. I think long prison sentences are cruel.
Edited on Sun Jul-29-07 01:32 PM by Rosemary2205
If someone has the potential to continue to commit crimes in or from prison then execution is the only option, IMHO.

For those who are rehabilitatable or who are not a continued danger to society then they should be given some sort of punishment that reinforces a desire to be productive in society. Though I recognize this is difficult to acheive in our mobile and urban societies.
