can see the reason that’s pretty much what attracted me to most of mine

and if they could cook well

looks came lower down the list somewhere after them shouting thier own round of drinks !!

Also, before you tell me to get wise brush up on your grammer, spelling, and presentation. .

actualy it is grammar , as you say be perfect before criticising others !!

INTRODUCTION
The length of time prisoners spend on death row in the United States before their executions has recently emerged as a topic of interest in the debate about the death penalty. The discussion increased around the execution of Michael Ross, a Connecticut inmate who had been on death row for 17 years, and has been spurred by the writings of two Supreme Court Justices who have urged the Court to consider this issue.

Death row inmates in the U.S. typically spend over a decade awaiting execution. Some prisoners have been on death row for well over 20 years.

During this time, they are generally isolated from other prisoners, excluded from prison educational and employment programs, and sharply restricted in terms of visitation and exercise, spending as much as 23 hours a day alone in their cells.

This raises the question of whether death row prisoners are receiving two distinct punishments: the death sentence itself, and the years of living in conditions tantamount to solitary confinement – a severe form of punishment that may be used only for very limited periods for general-population prisoners.

Hi pagon 01.I had the “Use” of a Barrister, when I sued a very well known Company.
His measily charge just a mere £350. per hour, thankfully paid for by the Police Federation Insurance Company, so it didn’t cost me a penny, Oh, yes, I won the day, David 1, Goliath 0.

on a death case it would be a team over many years to and fro in our courts as well as europe

whilst still paying prison costs as well

most inmates in america spend many years on death row awaiting appeals and evidence to come forward

I don’t buy any of that I’m afraid, appeals etc why should there be more of those if there is no doubt? Ah because the fat cat lawyers will all want their bit!

Also, before you tell me to get wise brush up on your grammer, spelling, and presentation. Mine’s not brilliant, but your’s is shocking and just about readable.

funny how it was basicaly understood thought isn’t it ??

if you don’t buy it have you ever considdered asking the R.N.I.B for a labrador ??

that is exactly as it will be or do you think that no prisoners go to the european court of rights now ???

the death sentence will only involve extra legal wrangling at extra cost whilst you are still paying for the sentence as well

or perhaps you think it can all be done for free ???

add to that psychologists ( a friends daughter is a criminal psychologist , her hourly pay is pretty cool !! )

a life sentence is cheap by comparison

a death sentence is cheap , it is the leangthy route to get there where the expense lies

That might take some explaining, how does putting to death of a criminal work out more expensive than a life sentance if they get it?
Not that it matters as cost isn’t the driving issue for me when it comes to justice.

.

1 you have the infinately more expensive court case ( it will run into millions )
because there is everything to fight for

2 you have the many more expensive appeals once inside

3 a death row inmate can serve close to a life sentence whilst all these appeals are going on

4 i know these are american statistics but do you for one minuite think things will differ here ???

if anything it will be longer and more expensive and include many appeals in europe as well ( we could not do it anymore on our own say so !! )

get wise !! we all die eventualy i certainly do not believe there is a heaven or hell , just nothing

so i believe you are not killing them rather you are freeing them from doing the decent thing

if anything i’d be doing my best to keep them alive

why do you suppose some lifers hang themselves ???

answer !! it’s the easy way out !!

in answer to the question though , no it shouldn’t be repeated

not because it wasn’t good , it was bearable and definately ” of the time “

but watchable and i enjoyed it at the time

to be honnest i think eastenders was a downward slope for him as he is a superb actor !!

but in todays world most don’t have an oppinion unless a government body or a millitant group has given it too them

sad realy but for a large part of uk society true !!

going off on a tangent , the black and white minstrels of the same era

that was banned or at least not made anymore because of the makeup

but the makeup had a very realistic part in stage history

that went back to theatres being a lot less well lit and black actors singers were actualy made up that way not as a racist thing

but so people in the theatre could genuinely see facial expressions
