I think most people would agree with that stuff in isolation, but reasonable solutions aren't really addressing the problem. Support for the Death Penalty is a political shibboleth in the modern US. It's not going to change, realistically ever, absent a major demographic realignment in the way we sort our citizens into parties.
Preaching to a choir of geeks looking for "solutions" is the wrong target.
- chris_wot 2y agoIMO, the only solution is to abolish it.
- Trill-I-Am 2y agoPlenty of states have banned it in the past 50 years. It's on the decline.
- gibbetsandcrows 2y agoAnd some states while not having banned it outright have made it effectively impossible to carry out. Oregon IIRC had their execution chamber and death row dismantled when their last governor left office. Execution is still on the books though.
