  1. Georgia was originally what Australia became after the Brits lost the revolution.

  2. Punishment only works when it is timely and sure, with years between the crime and trial and even longer before the penalty is carried out, and with the number of commutations, it is hardly a guarantee that the death penalty will actually be used. Life in prison seldom means life parole and as in death penalty cases retrials can change the sentence. In both cases, retrials often occur years later with witnesses dead or long lost; evidence may not be found; and finally undue pressure placed on witnesses to recant or change testimony. That last has occurred at least twice (that were caught) with Project Innocence cases; in fact in one case a cash payment was made for the new testimony. In other words, the delays and uncertainties that cause death penalty cases is a self inflicted wound of the system and places greater value on the criminals life than that of the victim.

  3. The NAZI's also used death vehicles. We know where the PRC got the idea.

  4.  @Elliandr  The French also used female prisoners to provide wives to some in their North American colonies. Before someone freaks at an insult to their ancestor, they weren't the only ones sent, just some of those sent.

  5.  @asdfoifhvjbkaos  The answer to means limiting third party interventions. Speeding up review of trials. Holding individuals criminally for falsifying or attempting to coerce changes in testimony; to name a few. Realizing that even 5 or 10 years can make a witness unclear in an earlier memory. On the otherside, ensure that police and prosecutors don't just make a case out of thin air for personal or political reasons in death penalty cases. Perhaps an outside (of the political system) review of all the evidence cpllected by a board that isn't elected but rather selected for knowledge concerning the type of evidence used. Permission to go to trial would not be proof of guilt, but rather there is no bias in the evidence present and that exculpatory evidence is handed over to the defense.
