Great question...I to am a Christian....my opinion will be more on the flesh side...
I was a Navy medic, and a nurse for 28 years. I have worked in several prisons from so called "weekenders" to super max.
Worked Death Row at 3 prisons.
I am wholeheartedly in favor of the death penalty. I do not agree with the appeals process as it is so convoluted and drawn out. If someone is sentenced to death, two appeals is all I would allow.
Harsh?? I don't know...lets ask the victims families....
I met some really messed up guys on death row. I met some even more messed up serving "life" sentences. The "lifers" usually are more apt to cause trouble for the guards that have to deal with them on a day to day basis...believe me...the guards absolutely do not get paid anywhere close to what they should ...
I only met one on Death Row that I thought was not guilty, and he told me he was. I was shocked.
So, yes, I do believe in using the Death penalty and I think is should be used more often.
