Not only that, but sometimes you get false convictions turned over decades after someone was put to death thanks to new evidence, it's one of the reasons why Australia abolished the Death Penalty to start with. Besides... To me they should be put to work in order to better society and pay for their crimes as free labor while they are in Jail, seems a waste to simply kill them off in my opinion. |
It doesn't work in the US because it's not used in all states or very often.
Do you think you can force those people to work? Nah, they'll be a waste of money. And we're lucky in Australia because we have a low population.
