    And rehabilitation works less. I wouldn't want such a person close to where I live, and I wouldn't want them put altogether on an island where they can procreate.

        Perhaps, but it's 100% certain that dead perps won't commit any more crimes.

          And it is 100% certain that if you chop both hands from a pick-pocket, he/she won't do pick-pocketing again. Will that be a deterrent ? Probably not, as often demonstrated in Saudi Arabia by their chopping off of one hand.

            But you'd spend 1,000,000,000 less time on knowingly sending someone to prison where they may be raped, beaten and possibly killed?

            Yes, because the object of prison is not so that hardknocks can duke it out in something that ends up being akin to survival of the fittest. Its a flaw, I agree and it does need to be fixed.
