    Should prisoners be given a death priviledge? A death privilegde would be what grants someone right to have assisted suicide by, say, the lethal injection. But what say you?

    If I were a prisoner doing time I'd want to exercize my death priviledge. I call it death priviledge since there is no such thing as a death reward for oneself. You can't appreciate a reward if you're dead, you know? Besides, it be doing society a good service since no one wants the so-called scum back on the streets, even since after prison no one wants to hand an x-con a job. And we all know not giving an x-con a job breeds a time of crime again by that x-con.

    Come to think of it, I think there should be a death priviledge for the suffering period. And a person knows whether or not they are suffering no matter their mental distress aspect. Certain people finacially suffer... Certain people with handicaps suffer... Certain x-cons suffer when they can't land a job no matter how hard they seek one... Etc. Allow such a death priviledge, I say.

    There is a huge difference between the death penalty and a death priviledge I strongly think. The death penalty can't execute the mentally ill since the mentally ill is no one's fault and shouldnt be PUNISHED. But a death priviledge is not punishment, and consented to by the sufferer.

    I think a death priviledge for prisoners would bring down the number of those who would have a shoot out with the cops that know they'll rather die by cop than go to prison.

    Just a good reason to have it.

    I mean if I know I'm looking at, say, 25 years in prison, and got a loaded gun, I might as well have a shoot out with the cops that have come to arrest me. Yes, and try to go out by cop if cant excape. But! If I knew that there in prison I'd be given a death priviledge I would not even bother to have a shoot out with the cops who I know I cant excape from. In turn a death priviledge will, in most cases, keep cops from having to be shot by someone that will rather die than go do plenty of time in prison.

    Why should prisoners get to choose assisted suicide, when people who are terminally ill and in tremendous amounts of pain can't?!

    You're right. But I was just using prisoners since most people do not like crimes as it is.

    No, most people probably don't like crime. I don't, but then I don't like the death penalty either. If someone robs a bank for example, then they should have to put up with being in prison, not get an easy option out of it.

    Well I just dont like to see anyone suffer. Plus I don't like crime. There are a lot of repeat offenders, you know? A death priviledge would maybe cut down on the number of repeat offenders. Some criminals repeat crimes because they have to. Face it, people need money to live.

    Plus, would you like to know the sex offenders are back out on the street after doing their time? Think they wont repeat it again and maybe get away with it over and over? Sex offenders have addictions. They'd be doing society a good service by choosing to exercize a death priviledge.

    I wish prisons would take a survey out on all kinds of prisoners (the incoming and ones already asituated in prison), to see the number of them all for prisoners to have a death privilegde.

    I wonder what the results would be...

    This is one of the most worrying ideas i've read in a while.

    I dont even know where to start with how wrong your mind is to think thats this is a good idea.

    Surely if a person commits crime, normally for money, we should look at the reasons for that - take a look at your culture and the pressure it puts on people to 'have'. Your idea seems to be inhumane at the very least, and where does it stop - once an idea like that gets a grip on the public who's to say we just kill all criminals, after all they did something wrong that the GOOD consumers would never do.

    The whole idea of people ASKING TO BE KILLED because they did wrong!

    and you seem to complain about repeat offenders - well question the prisons and laws. I would like to think that more privaleged people in life would want to help these people less fortunate than themselves. Maybe you should do more to help these people rather than cast them aside.

    From this post I get the image of a well off young person who has been given everything and has never has to fight for anything.

    Good luck with your views, but the world should not work like that

    How about a law making attempted suicide a felony, punishable by death?
    Or how about making prisons self sustaining, in that they encompass a large enough area that they can produce the needs of those incarcerated, as a contained society where they are provided nothing more than a starter supply of seeds and livestock to provide their food needs, if they wish. Funding would only be necessary for guards to prevent prison breaks and nothing else.
