If you claim to follow Jesus, I highly doubt he would agree with you, OP. Think about what you're posting. Oh my.
First, I don't believe in the death penalty. It is not our place to take life. Secondly, prisons may be the last rung of the ladder for many, for their families have failed them, their friends have failed them...they have failed themselves. I'm not making excuses for anyone, but it stands to reason that many who are in prison came from troubled homes as kids. They need rehabilitation, and prison can be a place to do that. The reason we keep seeing more people returning to prison, is because prison is only serving as a punishment, and there's nothing being offered to rehabilitate these people so they can become productive members of society.
