It is true alot of people incarcerated are found innocent. But I think the majority are guilty. Do we not jail anyone, because we are not "sure". And what of their time lost sitting in a prison cell? At least that time can be put to good use. I think it is a great deterant for crimes. Imagine, if you get caught doing something that is a capital offense and get caught, you can actually do something good for someone else, ie. a cure. The benefits outweight the risk of jailing innocent people. And we are talking a limited number as well, compared to those that are in jail for a short period vs those on death row. We shame ourselves when we let out criminals early because we have no room for them. To put them back out on the street to reoffend is just insulting. It's like asking them to commit a crime again. And honestly, most get so used to the prison life when they get out, they do want to reoffend just as to go back to the safty and leisure of a cell. I understand about protecting innocent lives, but the guilty vs. the innocent are outweighted. And something needs to be done with them insted of coddling them with cable tv, college education, and weights.
