Still think Texas has never executed anyone who was innocent?

Exactly - they are put in the box because they are acting like criminals.

 

Aww, the poor babies don't like solitary confinement.

Good.

Maybe if they hadn't committed the crime, and maybe if they behaved themselves in prison, they wouldn't have to be sent to "The Box"

And as far as the hunger strike went, they should have just let them starve to death.

 

This guy got married while in prison and got the woman pregnant. His victim couldn't do that.

Not to mention, he was a gang leader in prison.

And in this article, there was this gem of a guy:

"I was told by "Tiny" Contreras, the man who had led the Cadena assassination and who was also in the group, to be very careful of Mendoza: he had killed seven men while in prison. “How many have you killed?” “I only killed in self-defense,” he said. “How many?” Pause. Softly: “Nine.” "

EDIT: I forgot the link:

Then why are you trying to make an argument about how soft these guys have it in prison?

Google 'supermax.'

 

BTW, for the folks who are more familiar with the case, how did the guy who was convicted, and put to death, know who the real killer was within 40 minutes of the crime?

Did he just assume it was his doppelganger, or had he actually heard something already?

 

I should have continued to read my own link:

 

They have it soft, as long as they behave themselves.

The solitary confinement and "boxes" are for the prisoners who don't obey the rules.

Why should a convicted killer be allowed to have a conjugal visit? His victim can't have that.

There are lots of things his victim can't have. It measures nothing to say so.

Conjugal visits for LWOP prisoners are rare and vary by state.

You seem to want to inflict the maximum amount of pain on these criminals. Keeping them alive is the way to do that.

Death is an end to pain.

 

Careful - Deskslave will call you an asshole for having the audacity to want violent criminals to be punished.

 

Death also means the fucker can't commit another crime of any type ever again.

 

Keeping them alive isn't enough.

I want them to regret what they did for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I want them to think about what they did, 24 hours, seven days a week.

They ain't feeling bad when they're lifting weights or having their conjugal visits.
