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

[thetortiserunner]

Knowing that one is on death row, onw would rather jump off building (as "free" construction worker) or jump in front of moving car (as "free" road sweeper) instead to take a short cut.

Chain them down and make them addicted to and dependant on a drug

 

[thetortiserunner]

I really disagree those unnecessary procedures where they don't execute the person immediately after all the appeals already given time to go through. Waste our money and time.

Summary execution Assad style or forced free labour

 

[thetortiserunner]

send them do dangerous job like the movie the dirty dozen.

YES, you just reminded me of that show

Why not harvest their organs and save the kidney patient?

 

[kuti-kuti]

Shld lah, make them useful to society for a fraction of the cost. No need employ so many foreigners

Kill them no use at all

Just saw the news in Reddit today that the woodlands double murder guy was finally hung.

There was one guy complaining why he was kept in a pending situation for years,being a waste of tax payers money for so long which I agree with

It got me thinking, if it is absolutely certain that the person is guilty of the crime and will no doubt be sentenced to death*, why not use them for free labour instead- especially with the declining birthrate and the need to eventually wane off our dependence on (especially cheap) foreign labour, this would seem like a pretty good option
*Or maybe even all criminals*

Of course that doesn't mean we treat them inhumanely like slaves of the 1700s and starve,beat or whip them. What I am thinking of is bare minimum sustenance and daily needs to just keep them alive

Another way to to put or imagine this, for example to say , would be to make a death row inmates be a toilet cleaner, road sweeper, dishwasher or one of the other low(er) level jobs just like a normal civilian would, except he doesn't get paid a single cent ever. Take the money saved from his salary and invest it elsewhere or help the needy

The only draw back I could think off would be backlash from human rights activists groups and other nations accusing as of "modern slavery"

Actually your idea ish good. North Korea is a country that punish via hard labour. We can definitely learn from them. There are some offences even death penalty is of no deference , eg drugs offences. Hard labour might be a better alternative.

We can use these prisoners for the construction industry where they built the BTOs These prisoners will be tagged and chained so that any escape attempts will be fruitless.

Or they can be deployed at the semakau landfill. Where they will stay and work there till their shift is over.

they must work in an environment that any escape is impossible

Great minds think alike

Like the BCM guy below said, chain,tag + drug and make them work where there is no escape. Alternatively put them into monetized pay to view and betting fights to the death. Instead of having TOTO , 4D and casinos, we now have one more huge money making revenue. And as we all know it the gang in white loves nothing more than making more money

This will be like enhanced yellow ribbon programme that makes these prisoners atone for their sins. The families of their victims will definitely find closure knowing that these prisoners are now contributing to the society in an alternate way. It’s definitely better than locking them for 5-7 years and then sending them to the gallows or 20 year life imprisonment.

Ma nigga

Or rather permanent yellow ribbon programme

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

bad idea to let them work outside.....u spend more resources to keep them in check....death row inmates are usually hardcore criminals, and since they already sentenced to death, they have nothing to lose.....so is super bad idea to let them work outside

and, based on the number of inmates on death row, is about 50 pax only

do so much planning to allow 50 pax to work, the productivity gain is negligible

pls lah, we have better things to do

 

[deathan9el]

never thot this suggestion would even surface here

What about not outside but inside like prison labour camps

they already work in prison, get paid like few cents an hour

 

[Krabs.]

not gonna work .... since they nothing to lose they might "bring along another"

 

[amekago]

again, there are only about 50 of them on the death row at any given time

any productivity gain is negligible, and u need to allocate resources to watch over them as these are hard core criminals with nothing to lose, so overall u may lose more than u gain

try to look at the bigger picture
