Message | We believe that you are wrong, this cut costs in keeping this filth alive. They no longer need food, take up prison space, use utilities need guarding. This allows us to spend our resources on other areas of law and order. Also with the technology available to us it is very unlikely that innocents will be executed. This will just lead to a drain on tax payers money, massive flooding of prisons, and endagering the citizens of this nation. This also acts as a good detterent. |

Message | We can get into a major debate concerning this issue, but let it be known that the ULP favors capitol punishment. In fact, the ULP favors stricter, more severe punishments for many crimes.. |
