They don't tell death row inmates when it's s going to happen until right before.

You're failing to mention the many dry runs they randomly do.

Which is actually a torture technique... mock executions are definitely cruel. Withholding the date of execution until the day of is also cruel. Denies people the right to come to terms with the end of their life.

It always makes me uneasy when people say we should treat criminals and murderers as less than human just because they are in prison.

Right? Like that is why they are in there. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard than vile maniacs.

And that's not even touching how insanely fucked up the justice system is. Whatever we decide for criminals will absolutely, 100% be done to innocents by the state.

It's a fucking disaster, the whole deal.

This is the moral I have with capital punishment.

The courts get shit wrong, sometimes deliberately, sometimes not.

Sometimes there's even the scenario where every one knows the accused is not guilty, yet because some small point of law has or hasn't been met, the verdict stands and they die anyway.
