BRING BACK CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Editor, The Herald:

There has been much talk about the justice system as of late. All it
is is just talk. Nothing has been done to improve the system, and that shows.

Our jails and penitentiaries are all full beyond their capacity.
There is no more room for more criminals, so the justice system has
to be lenient where the criminal is concerned.

There is no punishment used any more. The do-gooders will not allow it.

Sorry to say, this city and many other have a severe crime problem.
Drugs account for 85 per cent of all crime.

Take away the drugs and you have only 15 per cent of the amount of
crime that we now have.

Getting rid of illegal drug dealers can be done, but don't forget
that there is no more room in the jails. They are full of murderers,
sexual perverts, and many other criminals that would have been put
down in days past. The old system wasn't the best, but it was much
better with better results than the so-called justice we now have.

With the crime systems and DNA we have now, we should bring back
capital punishment to this country and get rid of those who cause so
much pain and suffering to honest people.

The average prisoner in jail costs more than $100,000 per year to
keep. The government will not spend that amount of money to keep an
honest person.

Think about it.
