What would you prefer? Death penalty or life in prison?

    The choices put to you are spend the rest of your life in a Cambodia (or similar SE Asian) prison, with family visits once every 6 months, with no hugging or embracing allowed, visits are extremely supervised and must be done through chicken wire, with 20 hour lock down and slave labour. As per Japanese style, you will only be allowed to stand or kneel or sit like a Buddha in your cell, no lying down or exercising in your cell. Minimum calories given as per the WHO. Visits from family and friends are only 20 minutes each and every 6 months. Cell has thin mattress and no bedding, blankets or pillow. You have to wash in a bucket and shit and piss in another. Cigarettes are banned and possession or consumption will incur corporal punishment. No books, card games or entertainment of any kind, whatsoever.

    OR

    A swift, painless death by hanging.

    I'd choose the latter to be honest. What would y'all prefer?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,246 ✭✭✭ardinn


    I'd much prefer to be shot in the head to be honest.

    I dont know why they did away with that!! It probably the least painful - Hanging would be awful!!!

    Am I allowed read or anything like that? Or is it just slave labour and nothing else?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I'm chose life in prison I think.
    Probably hoping to get out or escape at some stage.
    I'm sure if it all became too much it wouldn't be overly difficult for me to end my life.

    Death penalty for sure, it would be better than spending the rest of my life afraid of being shanked or even worse, worrying everyday about taking a shower...

    Cambodia seems like a nice place so I'll go for life in prison over there.

    I choose life every time. No matter how bad it is, there is no coming back from death.

    If I'd done something bad enough to be given those two options I'd probably take death.

    The Long drop method for hanging is supposedly instant, your weight and height are factored in by the executioner.

    Drug trafficking?
    The Long drop method for hanging is supposedly instant, your weight and height are factored in by the executioner.

    Instant unconsciousness occurs, but not immediate death. Paralysis and severe damage is caused to the CNS upon reaching the end of the rope, but it takes a further 15 minutes of hanging on the end of the rope to ensure full brain and heart death has occurred.

    The death penalty is a disgusting concept. Morally and practically.

    I'd take life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭Seachmall


    What's life in a Cambodian prison like?

    Can I play cards or read books?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭PizzamanIRL


    I'll meet you in the middle. I'll take life and hang myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 882 ✭✭✭darragh16


    This is the typical AH agenda against Cambodia! Lay off the Cambodians OP!

    Not in all cases, child killers deserve it.

    Very few children are killers and I couldn't agree that they deserve the death sentence .

    Don't ever fly with ryanair then. You could book a weekend in Paris and 'due to unforseen circumstances' your plane is forced to make a slight detour th Phnom Penh :pac:

    The electric chair must be the most brutal way of execution, it's not an easy death by all accounts. It's been removed from many US states on the grounds of unusual and cruel punishment, it doesn't always finish the job.

    What ever happened to a good old fashioned lynching?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,171 ✭✭✭af_thefragile


    Life in prison actually.
    It may be helluva lot depressing but I as long as I'll have books to read, I could be content in knowledge.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,249 ✭✭✭MaroonAndGreen

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,565 ✭✭✭K.Flyer
