Explosions at the Boston Marathon

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Only thing I see to prevent it is the question surrounding whether or not he possesses the courage to be able to do such a thing. I have some doubt surrounding that. . .

Can you imagine how horrifying it must be to walk into that place knowing you'll never get out?

I imagine that for some it is a relief for some period of time at first, but as time slowly ticks away it would become a huge burden; especially knowing that each day will be spent in the same place, doing the same things, until you reach your appointed expiration date.

I really think that is what drives some of them to drop all appeals and ask to be juiced forthwith. And it is those exact times that lend credibility to the view that a sentence of "life" under those conditions, truly may be worse than state sponsored execution. Especially for those truly guilty of the transgressions for which they have been convicted.

Case in point:  Timothy McVey

He dropped his appeals and took the needle.  He, too, was at the SuperMax.

 (CNN)
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, sentenced to death in the Boston Marathon bombings, has been moved to Supermax, the nation's most secure federal prison, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

He had been held in USP Florence, a separate prison in Florence, Colorado.

  I think they should have taken him out the back door of the court and put a .22 bullet in the back of his head.  Dumped him into a trash compactor with a dead hog (pork) and took him to the garbage dump and put tons of trash over his worthless body.

I can see the .22 thing. But the rest of it only punishes his family; and they did nothing to deserve such treatment. . .

That being said, I believe the sentence in SuperMax is a far more egregious punishment than filling his head with lead. It gives him the balance of his life, sitting in a small, windowless cell for all but 1 hour of each day, to reflect upon his crimes.

I'll remind you that a large number of those sentenced to this same punishment, have chosen to end their lives by their own hand rather than endure it. . .

In my view, putting hot lead in his head provides him with a quick out rather than a long stretch of anguishing time within which to suffer.

If your view of what is next is true, (nothing), then what purpose does killing him serve? He doesn't go to hell, or purgatory, or burn in an eternal lake of fire. . .So where's the punishment in that?
