Why should we cater to the people on death row? They put their victims thru pain and suffering before they killed them. Maybe we should let the families of the victims do to them what they did to their family member. Is that cruel and unusual punishment? And keeping and feeding these people on death row for years and years is really rediculous to me, we spend our tax dollars on this and some never get the sentence carried out. I feel we should not keep them for more than 5 yrs.
