Don’t get me wrong, I like that idea too! If murder is involved, then they need the DEATH PENALTY! Televised for the entire country to see!!!
However, if they have not gone that far rogue from societal norms (which can be VERY broad - depending on the city and state you are in), then we need to make an effort to punish and re-habilitate all criminals! I say that from a valid perspective: I have friends and family who spent time behind bars - and ALL of them took the straight and narrow after their stints! But, all of them knew they were heading down a lonely, deadly road when they got caught, so they WANTED to change!
But, of course, that is just my opinion.
“I have friends and family who spent time behind bars”
Well,...i think this is related to violent sexual predators. Are you saying you have friends and family who spent time behind bars due to violent sexual predator acts? I don’t think you will have much sympathy here. Maybe their souls can rehabbed in the afterlife. cheers.
