Perhaps if they sentenced serious crimes appropriately and didn't lock up people for what are relatively minor offences then there'd be enough room to keep the worst offenders in for the appropriate amount of time.

In other news, studies have shown bears defecate in areas dense with foliage and the Pope apparently has fervent religious beliefs.

I hear capital punishment works a treat, preventing re-offending too.

I hear of innocent people getting killed, with no way to bring them back.

Yeah, murderers are particularly adept at doing that too.

If murderers do it it's wrong, but if the State does it it's OK?

Oh, for pete's sake, read the article - I thought it was fairly clear I was being sarcastic.

But, if you must know, I am not entirely opposed to capital punishment. It just opens a huge can of worms about under which conditions it should apply, making the whole thing largely unworkable.
