If execution prevails in the USA then I believe it should be by a bullet to the head. However, this being the most humane and quick, it has its bad side too, very messy.
Semi related; I don't think the person committed to death should ever know the date of their departure. It should be punishment in the not knowing when because death itself is not punishment, we all die.
Every day, they come to the cell to take you to eat or exercise, never knowing if one day, you end up in front of a firing squad rather than lunch. Then place the head on a stick at the front gates of your town. Just as a warning to visitors or new settlers.

Terry, I joke around but I am not in favor of torture -- unless there's possibility that the person being tortured has information that would save many lives. I disagree with the do-gooders on this. They say the tortured will give false info to save themselves but this is wrong because the fear of being caught in a lie would result in worse torture or even death. I believe that in WW2 many lives were saved due to 'extracting the truth'.
This is a 2 sided answer,,if you believe "when your dead your dead" then you will probably want to get the most physical and mental pain out of the person you are killing..however if you believe when your dead "you go to heaven or hell".and considering hell is supposed to be an eternal pain,,then it is up to the individual to choose which is the better sentence,,BTW,,if you kill one innocent person and 10 guilty persons,,then the system is flawed..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<

For those who are opposed to the death penalty, here is another view. I worked in a prison for a long time. The only thing I can say is people on death row and high security inmates , are very bad bad bad people. I now have the opinion they are using up my oxygen. There is no reason for their existence. Here is my idea. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/lethal-injection/appeals-judge-says-guillotine-probably-best-executions-n161641

Look at Amanda Knox, tried in Italy, found innocent and released back to the USA, just last week they decided that something was missed and wanted to retry her case. It fell through though. Nonetheless, people will be accused and found guilty, some may be innocent--->bad lawyer<--- DNA will prove the accused didn't murder but it will not prove the accused had nothing to do with it. They could have hired the killing. So, justice systems will fail. But I believe that 99% is accurate.
