Estate? What type of person do you think typically winds up on death row? It's not Barrington de Montforte Soames-Roper VI, that's for sure.

Any idea what the average length of time is between sentencing and the sentence being carried out? It's years.

With someone like Shipman it would probably have taken no time at all, but he took the cowards way out and killed himself.

no, i have no idea. why does it take so long?
 
Aye. For paedos, child murderers and folk who hurt small furry animals (I think that's the holy trinity and I haven't left anything out...mebbys dissing the military). All coppers are bastards so cop killing wouldn't be on the list.

Since the success of brexit and that people recognising that they actually are a force to be reckoned with - I think we should further reclaim our country back by having a major referendum on a major topical issue each year. Around Passover/Easter time I think would be reasonable - like Pilot in days of yore.

Let the people decide goddammit! Share if you agree.

My point is that almost all of these people had no assets to speak of before they got convicted of murder, and even fewer have any afterwards. Most people on death row were defended at trial by public defenders (court appointed lawyers) because they couldn't afford one of their own. The remainder would have been cleaned out trying to, you know, avoid getting convicted of murder. And the few who didn't end up broke that way would have been cleaned out by the civil wrongful death suits filed by their victims' families once the conviction was secured. It's virtually impossible to end up on death row, much less get all the way through the process, with any substantial assets unless you literally started with tens of millions of dollars (and probably not low tens, either).

sounds like a pretty inefficient system.

What, requiring that people be permitted to defend themselves at trial and then pursue their appeals before you kill them? Or the part where people are permitted to sue people who have been convicted of killing their relatives?

For a prisoner on life with no parole they should be in a jail whereby there are no mod cons. Just a bed in a cell with an empty yard to exercise in once a day.

I've no problem with the general prison population having access to computers or books that are rewards for good behaviour or give prisoners the opportunity to better themselves and rehabilitate
