The cure for crime is not the electric chair, but the high chair.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am an expert of electricity. My father occupied the chair of applied electricity at the state prison.
When I was in junior high school, the teachers voted me the student most likely to end up in the electric chair.
It is a question whether, when we break a murderer on the wheel, we do not fall into the error a child makes when it hits the chair it has bumped into.
Legislation won't necessarily start a riot. But the right song can make someone pick up a chair.
Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.
Crimes spring from fixed ideas.
In the Seventies, a lot of executions via electric chair failed because of technical problems. Seed tells the true story of someone who survived and sought revenge. They buried him alive to make it seem he was dead.
Nothing will deter crime but the certainty of punishment.
First of all, it does not deter crime, the death penalty.
It is the crime not the scaffold which is the disgrace.
