[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] The Death Penalty may or may not be an effective deterrent, I've seen studies that suggest both, so my answer on that is still up in the air. However... the rate of recidivism (that is, people who go on to commit other crimes after being released from jail) is roughly 80%. but... The rate of recidivism after a visit to 'the chair' is, Wes Craven movies aside, exactly 0%. 'The chair' is a complete and utter guarantee that the person who has committed the crimes for which he was sentenced will NEVER do anything to harm others EVER again. As such it is COMPLETELY effective. HOWEVER! I have some disagreement as to the ways in which the state-run death penalty is carried out, the crimes for which one is slain, and such, and the way in which it is determined who shall die and who shall live, for committing similar crimes. As these issues stand, I do have some disagreement with the death penalty. However, someone whose guilt is completely certain should by all means 'fry.' [/QB][/QUOTE]
