If you mean South African "Blade Runner" he's the only guy EVER to be arrested for the simple fact he took his girlfriend out on Valentines Day. See edit notes	lordnoddy (3645)

They believed that it was beyond reasonable doubt when they convicted Arthur Alan Thomas, but it obviously was not. You can't put someone to death on the strength of the evidence that convicted Thomas. It has since come to light that the cops planted evidence that framed and convicted him. That was a big enough miscarriage of justice that he went to gaol for all those years. It would have been far worse if the death penalty was the punishment in those days. Gaol with hard labour. Make them suffer.	Roscoe (6288)

1339109	2013-05-01 05:58:00	Probably need to invoke the death penalty for cops who frame innocent people, too. And for those causing permanent injury by assault or rape. The prison industry is a poor solution to the unemployment problem.	Blue Druid (4480)

(lets even pay them 5,000$ a year per prisoner) Some place where prison means a lot of pain and suffering and hard labour in some dark and dangerous mine where they are unlikely to survive for long. I guarantee crime rates will drop dramatically, and people with psychopathic genes will be gone from our gene-pool.	Cato (6936)

Make them suffer . Impose death penalty for corrupt cops . Problem solved . You will never get a 100% fool proof plan, but Id rather definitive scum be removed asap for as little cost as possible . Then all the records of their existence erased as if they never were . No legacy . No story . Nothing .	rob_on_guitar (4196)

LN ... yours is a too subjective approach to a penalty IMO. You may not be able to exist without these perks in a prison environment. I, on the other hand wouldn't miss any of those things. Whatever, I think a punishment should be just that: a confinement devoid of social contact, creature comforts. Make it clear to the convict that she/he has transgressed against society in a manner that will not be tolerated, and that is the penalty.	WalOne (4202)

I, on the other hand wouldn't miss any of those things. That's his point. They get all that crap in prison, while many law abiding people can't afford to have Sky or afford to play pool regularly. Whatever, I think a punishment should be just that: a confinement devoid of social contact, creature comforts. Make it clear to the convict that she/he has transgressed against society in a manner that will not be tolerated, and that is the penalty. You don't seem to understand. The legal (and penal) systems in NZ are not about justice nor punishment. They are about "helping" these anti-social and reforming them into good decent people who will give back to the society and be productive. How dare you suggest punishment! Shame on you! Depriving them of social contact and creature comforts would deny them their human right!	Cato (6936)
