Maybe you have listened to the "violence begats violence" crowd & misapplied it. Violence does begat violence in a family, but as a punishment for horrible criminal activity it stops violence by that individual. These people continue to be a danger to guards & other prisoners, also they may escape, some have been let out on parole. With todays technology (DNA testing etc.) I feel very certain that a person convicted of a crime, is guilty. They have had years of appeals, & everything has been checked & re-checked. I doubt if any innocent person is executed today, but this has happened in the past.

Heavenly Father,

Once again we come to You and seek Your mercy for Elizabeth. As the grueling investigation into her kidnapping continues, we can only keep our eyes on Your face. You are the only hope that this child has. We pray, Father, that her life has been spared and that You will lead rescuers to her exact location. We pray that those who hold her would have mercy on her. Father, we know You hear our cries and pleas for Elizabeth. Hide her in the shadow of Your wings, Father, and protect her until these calamities have passed. Let no evil befall her, Lord, but give Your angels charge over her to keep her in all her ways. We commit Elizabeth and her family to You, believing in Your sovereignty, and knowing that You hear our prayers. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
