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.

Some prisons in Australia already do have their Prison population work, I know mine does, they farm crops, allot of that food is given to the poor, homeless, charity. etc'.
The way it should be.

Population really doesn't have much to do with it, standard of living is a *massive* factor in crime rates, especially in regards to health, income, jobs, opportunities etc'.
Plus we have an effective gun-control system, that has worked extremely well.

And I quote: "In October 2013, the incarceration rate of the United States of America was the highest in the world, at 716 per 100,000 of the national population. 
While the United States represents about 4.4 percent of the world's population, it houses around 22 percent of the world's prisoners."

In other words, the Death Penalty has not worked has it?

Australia by comparison has an incarceration
 rate of 205 prisoners per 100,000 of the national population. - We don't have the death penalty.

As I said, it does not work in the US because they keep a prisoner sentenced to death in prison for 10+ years. And we both know that the incarceration rate in Australia is low because the judges prefer to let the criminals go. Like these mofos:

So, if justice isn't being served, of course, our incarceration rate would be low.

They should die about 1 hour after the sentence is handed down.

This guy gets it. One quick injection and incineration should do the trick.
