Reply to comment by cpr4life8 in Pennsylvania lawmaker to introduce legislation repealing death penalty by Waterwebgrasshopper

I agree with more room by releasing minor offenses, a lot of places do this right now.

I was speaking on state executions which I believe was in the 70's, I could be wrong but PA hasn't sentenced anyone to death in a long time. Edit I just reread your comment, 1999 got it ty for the update.

Our legal system does not allow the victims to determine. We live in a civilized society as I said, the judge determines the sentences after the accused is judged by 12 of their peers.

There have been 3 executions by the state of PA since 1976. All were in the 90s during the Tom Ridge administration.

I'm glad we can agree that there are many imprison who don't belong there. Now if only prisons weren't operated for profit that might not be as big an issue as it is.

Ty for the sauce.

That is the biggest problem, the privatized prisons.
