Bill: Death Penalty Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Zapatista Party
Status[?]: passed
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: June 2189
Description[?]:
| We, The Zapitista Party, do not support the death of civilians. The goverment does not have the rights to take away life. A miscarriage of justice could mean the death of totally innocent civilians and once the life of an innocent has been taken, its too late to bring it back. Plus, we would rather see the murderers/enemies of the workers toil in guilt in a squalid cell then allow them to have the easy option of death! Bring justice to Cobura! |

| Message | Against, LIA does not feel like paying for the food, water, and medical care of murders and rapists for the rest of their natural lives. Executing them is much cheaper. |

| Message | The problem is ZP, you talk about prisoners living in squalid conditions for the rest of their lives, yet we provide education for prisoners, and we allow them to voluntary jobs for a small wage. This does not sound like a life of guilt of deprivation, this sounds like the taxpayer funding a fairly comfortable existance for convicts. Now if you suggested, within this bill, to remove education in prisons, to foce prisoners to do hard labour, and to allow police officers to torture convicts at their discretion, then you would have a good case with which to remove the death penalty, however we cannot support a removal without actually making priosn tough on convicts. |
