Bill: Fair Imprisonment Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Green & Agricultural 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: May 4270
Description[?]:
| I believe that the death penalty only adds more grief to a terrible situation. Killing another human being doesn't help anyone, it just makes things worse. The death penalty cannot be applied for fear of mistakes in our justice system and for the fair treatment of the families of criminals because they will be the ones to suffer because of the death penalty. Nobody has the right to take the life of another, no matter how terrible of a person they may be. |
Proposals

Proposal[?] to change Government policy with respect to the death penalty.
Old value:: The death penalty is applied for capital crimes.

Proposed: The death penalty is illegal and is never to be applied.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask our colleagues from the UGAP what alternative they prefer? Is it better to spend a small fortune to keep the most violent rapist and murders locked in a cell forever? Is that not taking their life as well or do you suppose that a life lived behind bars is a life worth living, a fulfilling life? Furthermore I would bet that this isn't about the death penalty or criminal reform at all, this is the incoming administration moving quickly to undo the work of the last administration. The Bennett-Blood compromise still has the ink drying on the bill i'd bet but President Rivers and her cronies are coming for every conservative gain of the last 5 years, next they will be raising taxes. -GCU Minority Whip Royce Blood |
