Killers or not, prison should be as uncomfortable as possible.

I would prefer to see shorter sentences with more misery.

Yes, being in prison is enough of a punishment.

who are we to decide who can enjoy a dr.pepper or who can have a pillow, daily shower, warm food. i consider those to be everyday comforts. and do you think a thug who killed a thug deserves to be deprived of everyday comforts just because he killed a thug? there are very different circumstances for everyone

94% of the voters dont use both brain hemispheres equally

No, they should be deprived of everyday comforts.

Personally, I feel they should be given a trial and 1 year to appeal. After that, they are shot in the head. End of story. perks are for law abiding citizens, not murders

No, they should be deprived of everyday comforts.

Just no - they should get health care, meals, be warm and dry - books to read - but have no idea what the hell you mean by "perks" - can you give us a clue??

They've avoided the needle. There's a perk for them.

It costs 10 times more to provide a prisoner with perks than it would out in the public.

No, they should be deprived of everyday comforts.

They should get three meals a day basic healthcare and a place to sleep everything else is extra.

I see your point but unfortunatley short sentences just lead to the "revolving door" effect. Longer sentences with a chance to reflect, rehab on drugs etc, deal with mental issues and
plenty of hard work seems to work better in the long run.
