| Message | Instead we could cut cost of jail sentences by feeding them slury and making them work ALL day then sleep in tents at night. |

| Message | And risk them getting lose? Tent's are not very well secure for holding dangerous criminals, which are the ones who would be convicted of capital crimes. |

| Message | NMRP: Perhaps. The FBP feels otherwise, but does understand where the NMRP's veiws come from. Although, frankly, it scares me that my party agrees with the PPP on most Criminal Rights issues... |

| Message | No one time murderers should not be killed. I think captal punishment is to harsh for these crimes and people should be executed for the the reasons we have at present. If the crime is particularly horrendous then the crime can be squeezed through as "crimes against mankind" because of that phrases ambiguous meaning. |

| Message | Well, clearly the more extreme offenders , like political criminals and thinkers of sedition, are already covered as crimes against mankind, but we the good folks at military R&D need more fresh meat! If you think about it, any bad person qualifies for such punishment. It is, after all, a capital idea! |
| Date | 03:52:15, July 15, 2005 CET | From | Beluzian Labor Party | To | Debating the Penal Code Revisement |
| Message | While Labor supports tougher prison sentences for criminals, Labor is strongly opposed to the death penalty. |
