Death House Kitchen

This is where all meals for the condemned prisoners were made, including the infamous "last meal." They really did try to accommodate all last meal requests, within reason.

Kay, you are assuming prisoners all feel guilt from their crimes. Unfortunately that's not usually the case, I don't believe.

Claudia: The death house was a separate unit from the rest of the prison. It had its own kitchen to make meals for all death row inmates so that the keepers would not have to travel to the regular prison kitchens to pick up food.

I knew inmates who were sentenced to life, who were later released by the dogooders only
to go out and kill again.

If the US had the same punishment as many other coountries we wouldn't have the problems we are having today, and eye for an eye, If one of your family members were killed by someone I'm sure you wouldn't still feel that the person should stay in jail and that its inhumane. The criminal didn't think it was inhumane when he was murdering someone, he/she didn't think of what it would do to that person's family for the rest of their lives, why should our tax money support these people to have a roof over their heads and 3 meals a day everyday and not have to worry about working everyday until they die?

Hey Kay i think you have a very noble but expensive solution. I would think that when you actually do have a job to to foot the bill to support your criminals then you might reconsider limiting their stay to a much shorter time.

The death penalty is never justified. I may only be a 15 year old girl but i know enuff to say that i think killing a living person no matter what the crime is barbaric. I think there should be a private prison where crimals will be placed after murdering any human being. They should stay in this prison untill death releases them. This way they have to live with the pain and guilt of killing another human instead of being killed and being free from all guilt!
