Smart man Sam, smart man

I think that even though he may have simply been joking around Sam is seriously onto something. By having convicts that would be put to death go to work it satisfies the two opposite sides of the spectrum involved in this debate. Not only would this make criminals responsible for violent offences pay for their crimes, the would also PAY for their crimes, literally. Using them as a free workforce they could pay for their incarceration and no tears would be shed over the death of some psychotic violent offender. The only issue would be finding away to make the appeals process for slave work in Siberia less expensive than current capital punishment costs. Who knows, maybe governments could even make money from these criminals in the long run. The best part is that they are there to suffer for their crimes so workplace safety comittees wouldn't be complaining about the horrendous working conditions. Im not saying we torture these people, but life certainly would not be as esasy as I'm sure they have it in a secure prison, which is hardly fitting punishment for some of these wastes of skin. My God we are good. What should we tackle next? Solving global warming with icecubes and solar powered airconditioners perhaps...
