Bullcrap, America's death penalty is weak. That's why we have so much crime. Look at most Asian countries. They are allowed to cane you and stuff like that, but that keeps their crime rate low. In America, even if you are convicted to die, what do you get: a shot that makes you fall asleep, and you don't wake up again. Criminals should die in the way that they killed people or worse. If they shot someone, they get shot. If they stabbed someone, they get stabbed. Crime rates drop through the floor. Guaranteed.
I hate the last part of the 8th amendment. Cruel and Unusual is the only thing that gets the point across anymore. Public embarrasment, firing squads, guillotines, the judicial weapons of the past shouldn't have died with their societies.
