I'm sorry, but bring back death penalty in New York! I know I will be flamed for this.

47. Let him rot, but first

Lets make prison a not nice place to be. No tv except what comes in over the air waves, ie no cable tv. Make the prisoners' work for their food, no sports activity, no weights. Nothing but a yard to walk around in for an hour a day, crappy but nutritional food.

I dont mean this for people with short sentences although I would not object to it. I have read enough stories written by people who have gone to jail where they state "its 3 hots and a cot".

Having talked to people who have done long prison sentences ( I try to give them jobs and talk about it to see if I should hire em ) they say it just becomes life, its just a small city where your looking over your shoulder more than on the out side. They say the first few months to a year sucks, then it just becomes their life. One guy actually told me he kind of preferred it in prison, and he is the one who told me it should be "less nice". His words not mine, and he still works for me after doing 9 years in prison.
