"Dan, than why have any prison terms at all? Is it any better to put an innocent person away for life?"

Prison terms are one thing, death another. I am not saying that in some cases - with "absolute" proof that I would be totally against the DP. A very difficult subject and one that I would be loathe to apply a blanket statement to.

In some cases prison would be the more cruel punishment.

I was however responding to the sometimes grossly inadequate jury system.
