(hypothetical thought) should we use death row inmates for "free" labour instead?

[thetortiserunner]

The money they earned likely can't even pay for the extra manpower needed to guard over them

Still SOME money saved no?

 

[Nuclear Boy]

Death row inmate can refuse to work, or sabotage the work. They have nothing to lose afterall.

 

[thetortiserunner]

What is holding them to just poison the laundry and dishes? Nothing. The message to other people was to let's go kill people since I cannot find a job, gov will give me a housing and 3 meals. Killing becomes a cheap thrill.

These non critical roles are taken by other rehab prisoners.

Ok lor, than we can use them for human experiments, ethics be damned

 

[chaiscool]

Idk how to further explain this. Like prison but with unpaid labour or maybe 24/7 tracking,or chained? Dead men can't work after all. Kept alive even doing the shittiest jobs is better than dead right? Imagine a workforce of death row convicts cleaning your hawkers. The money saved could be used to help the needy elderly from doing such backbreaking work

You want murderers to clean your table? They already death sentence, what's stopping them from going on killing spree?

Even if they subdued, means public can abuse them as they can't retaliate. Then you get karen kind how sia. Eat hawker also no peace.

lol edmw comments in thread all baffling cmi sia

 

[khratit]

Still the same sentiments. Free labour rather than dead men

I put it in another way

If the law allow one for one swap

Any civilian who is willing to substitute can undergo death penalty for the offender

Then offender walk free

Will you go?

Copied from comments above:

True enough, but maybe some are scared of death or are banking on a chance of a Divine intervention or miracles happening down the road in say 50 years time

Copied from another article

The police added that capital punishment is imposed only for the most serious crimes, including murder

So if using them as free labour... What gives justice to those who were murdered?

You wish to use them as free labour but there must be something binding them to act how you want them to do

 

[BlackWing1977]

On death row where got motivation to work?

Those prisoners willing to work to earn money because they know eventually they will be free and need the money or they can use to purchase something extra in prison.

You need stick and carrot not just stick.

 

[MrAwesomeX]

So their death sentence is do free work until die...??

A.I driven society you need prison manual labor for fart?

Only use is hang or use for live vaccine/medicinal testing.

 

[wwenze]

Those who have to taken a life or ruined that of another deserve none of their own

This is where you and I different

I believe in the rights that the law says

You believe in changing the law

It's okay, that's why you made the poll.

 

[wwenze]

Ok lor, than we can use them for human experiments, ethics be damned

Give them a choice

They can choose to die normally according to law

Or yolo in medical experiment that etch their name in history

You also don't want fake experiment results made in protest, if you were born early enough to see 2020.

If the price is right ,yes. For example me, shortened life span due to cancer, TTFA, can't even get to do what I like properly, if let's say 50mil can be paid to my family why not. Spent and invested wisely it's enough to last a few generations

Yes medical experiments

Carrot is their life. 1 day you work is 1 more day you get to stay alive before the clock strikes 12

Sedate them,chain them up, force them into labour, implement 1 day of work = 1 more day to live

If the person was for example a rapist or murderer, then they definitely deserved to be abused

 

[MrAwesomeX]

Yes medical experiments

Or test SAF ready to eat food lol .

More humane to test it on them than on arts students I suppose.

 

[Taloona]

I don't get why death row inmates can't be chosen? For regular criminals doing their time once it's over it's over, but for death row inmates, perhaps wash hotel bedsheets till the day they die?

This is just my assumption. Chill.

 

[Taloona]

get them to work in factories and construction sites.. if perform okay, they live, if bad performance, get hung in the morning

I year probation? This is the time where a longer probation can literally save your life!

Oh, must go for skill training too.

And if they refuse to work, ... what's their 'punishment'?
