10. Oppose in all cases.

However, I do not think our current legal system works as in too many mistakes, unequal legal representation, and unfair between jurisdictions and in general.

Do not have an answer but do have an idea.

Go old school and give those convicted of capital crimes one-way tickets to a secured island. Let those convicted of capital crimes build their own society and provide for themselves by farming and raising animals without technology. Abolish all "modern" technology including communication with outside World. Multiple "chip" the convicts. Insert spies to monitor. Monitor from outside with vigilance.

Living facilities would be built, farms developed and stocked, and adjustments / additions made to maintain viability. Many questions like what about the infirm and how are woman and other minorities not brutalized. Not easy problems. Spit balling here.
