On the other hand, how many times have you read that a rapist or murderer was paroled, and then raped or killed or both shortly after his release from prison?



Then don't parole them.

Serial killer Ted Bundy escaped jail -- twice!-- and killed again.



And, because he was probably about to get the death penalty, he had nothing to lose. Thanks for proving my point.

Several times a year I watch the news and see prison breaks, with photos of escaped convicts the public is to be on the lookout for.



This is problem with prison security measures, not an argument for death penalty.

Note that Bundy's escapes happened because he was left unsupervised. What's the best solution for dumb guards? Why, killing more people, of course.
