Bill: Death Penalty Act, 2172

Details

Submitted by[?]: Totalitarian Party

Status[?]: defeated

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: February 2173

Description[?]:

Presently, our nation does not use death as a punishment for any crime. The Totalitarian Party feels death can be a powerful deterrent to criminals. Therefore, we propose the death penalty be brought back for serious crimes such as murder, smuggling large quantities of illegal drugs, treason and any form of terrorism.

MessageCan you list your pragmatic reasons? The Totalitarian Party feels the death penalty is much more efficient than life sentences. It helps remove excess prisoners from jails, and saves our nation a fortune. Keeping prisoners alive for decades can be expensive.

MessageFor sure.

(1) We can use able-bodied prisoners for cheap labour.
(2) Exhausting all judicial processes is an expensive matter.
(3) The death penalty has no measurable impact on crime.
(4) If a prisoner is alive, he is still able to give out information: be it the identity of other criminals, evidence in other crimes that are uncovered after he has been jailed. Not so when he is dead.
(5) The possibility exists that a prisoner will produce works of a certain cultural or monetary value while in jail. If he writes a best-seller, for instance, the state can claim a nice large percentage on sales.
