I understand that. I just don't think that it is particularly morally defensible. Why bother keeping these people alive and endangering the lives of innocent or, in the case of other prisoners, less guilty persons?

And the super facilities where they are in lock-down 23 hours a day are extremely cruel psychologically.

To me saying that incarcerating someone in supermax is morally superior to the death penalty is the same as saying it is morally superior to torture someone rather than to kill them.

Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
