Poll: Should we use those convicted of murder & child molestation...

- Cheaper prescription drugs, much faster path to the market
- No animal testing, rest your conscience and PETA too
- Stop releasing them to commit more crimes
- Money spent on imprisoning them is actually doing some good
- May act as a better deterrent than our current "Club-Med" prisons

This is what inspired this poll, it just kills me that this asshole was released from prison.

Edit: Rape is an awful crime, but due to many factors let's scratch the idea and limit this hypothetical solution to murderers and child molestors.

I agree.

Since you're doing medical testing on them anyway, give some of those men four legs or six eyeballs or something...Might make the game more interesting

But with some inmates, they should let me hunt those men for sport.

The idea is that their lives are now forfeit because of their crimes.

Problem is they don't. Prisons are horribly overcrowded. I remember reading somewhere that the average convicted murderer spents 8 years behind bars. Read the article I linked to in the OP, this guy was a convicted child molester who was let out.

Good idea. Or maybe the family of the murdered/raped/etc... could have the option of hunting this guy down and finishing him.

 
I think we should shoot them out of a high powered cannon over buildings and stuff. Maybe into the ocean, or into dirt mounds.

I agree. If someone merits the death penalty, just kill him (or her). Otherwise, just let the punishment fit the crime. There's also this bit in the US Constitution regarding cruel and unusual punishment...

Well, I really had in mind just about anything... Not just for the hell of it, but to advance our understanding of the human body. I know your example was just something random, but perhaps it could pave the way to penile (re)construction techniques for those who've suffered injuries to it, hermaphrodites, micropenis (it's a real condition) sufferers, etc.

I don't consider it barbaric; I consider it efficient and a better solution than what we're doing now.

That seems like more of a problem for the judical system, than the prison system... There should be laws passed, increasing the mandatory scentence for the most hainous crimes. No matter how crowded the prison's are, they'll find room for a guy if he's serving a mandatory life scentence without parole...

on a slightly different note, the real sollution for overcrowding, is to change the god damn drug laws so that people don't do hard time for petty drug offences... It Fvcking rediculous that this guy has been arrested 24 times, and hasn't been locked away for a significant period of time. Meanwhile there are people who are serving scentences of 10+years for pot... AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

It makes me so angry...

So you're saying along the lines of what Hitler's scientists and those involved in Unit 731 did, but to convicted murderers, rapists, etc?

Because we sure did learn a hell of a lot from those experiments, but it's not something I'd like to see repeated on anybody, ever.
 
Or what about this.

We can compromise.

We can do experiments and grow penises on their faces and whatever else you want, then we can put them in a gladiator outfit, load them into a high powered cannon, and shoot them over the ocean while people shoot guns at them in the air like clay pigeons?

I think that pretty much wraps this thread up.

Who do we talk to about getting something like this standardized?
 
No, because where do you draw the line at who gets experimented on and who doesn't? Some murders are somewhat justified and don't warrant the murderer being tortured.

If we started this soon enough a guy with 100 pot plants would be a menace to society deemed worthy of medical experimentation. Our government is run by morons and I don't want them to have any more power to punish the people

I'm definitely with you on the issue of drugs, but I'm not sure even full legalization would ease the strain on prisons. Harsher sentences for scum that deserves it would only put more stress on them.

Quoted for truth...

Let me get this straight...

Hitler's "scientific" experiments (torture) of "criminals" = "efficient and a better solution than what we're doing now."

Okay... Just wanted to make sure I understood you...God...


This should really be in P+N

At murderers, rapists and child molestors.

There are many different types of murders and murderers, and many different types of sexual assualts. That is not drawing the line, because if it was all these people would be recieving the same sentences.

Some murderers get life and others get a few years.
 
The definition of "rape" is starting to become very loose nowadays, i mean, cant they change their mind during intercorse now?

At which you have to pull out. If you keep going -- rape.
