Which led me to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration#Incarceration_rates_by_country Jersey has a population of 80,000 400 of whom are locked up. At 500 per 100,000 that puts us just behind Russia and well above South Africa. Hmmm.

I was young when I was burgled and didn't have much in the way of sentimental stuff, so didn't really have anything to get over. However, I've seen the effect it's had on others, so understand completely where you're coming from.

That's another problem. Death row is far more expensive than regular prison and because of all the automatic appeals, prisoners now spend an average of 11 years there before execution. (1/3 die of natural causes.) Also, the death penalty is not fool-proof. 252 convicts, and at least 17 on death row have been exonerated after conviction. |
