The most brutal and horrific crimes should be met with steepest of punishment. I'm not saying everyone convicted of murder should die, but the most hardcore, grisly, horrific killers/rapists have no place draining resources in our prison system. One way or another they're dying behind bars. Why not just get that shit over with? Considering what they've taken from their victims and their families, why should they be afforded the gift of time to read, relax, and "rehabilitate?"

Trust me, rapists don't get to relax in prison. If someone is a child molester, a rapist or someone who has committed an act of violence against a religious figure... They better ask for solitary confinement because every other prisoner will be itching to be the one to bash their brains in. And even in solitary, the gangs have a way of getting to them one way or another.

I'm not saying they shouldn't be executed, I'm actually in favor of the death penalty, but there's no way that people who commit heinous acts of violence just get to kick back and laugh at the system. They spend the rest of their days watching their back (no pun intended) in prison, hoping that they don't go the way of Jeffery Dahmer.
