whilst I find it hard to understand why sentences are so short, id hardly call time in prison a "slap on the wrist"

another point that ill make; no justice system is perfect, would you rather wrongfully imprison somoene or wronfully kill them?

edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo - this is the nation who you say deal with this "FAR better"?

I know of people who have been in prison for whatever reason... And they had Internet, PS3's, Wii's... It's hardly a hard life is it?

And of course, no justice system is perfect. Far from it. And i would only support capital punishment if the offender was proven by forensics or whatever.

Sure, they don't exactly prove it in Congo... But IMO this country would be a lot better off if we had the death penalty re-introduced for certain criminals.

the death penalty is illegal under UK and EU law

I think it should always be illegal, I dont agree with the idea of killing people unless there are extenuating circumstances. (self defence, war, that kind of thing)

please provide evidence of your claim that "they had internet, PS3's, Wii's"

if so, they shouldnt be getting luxuries like that, I agree, but again, first prove your claim.
