We believe the levels of heinous murders, and cases of sexual abuse of children have exploded in recent years, that prison does not work and is not Justice. Family and friends can experience distress, knowing that the people convicted of crimes against their loved ones are alive in prison, and at the tax payers expense. We believe capital punishment would deliver justice for victims and their families. Whose rights do you value more, perpetrator or victim?
