"Suffering" may be too strong a word. A lot of prisons, at least in the western world, are way too cushy.
'cushy', Seriously?
Ask anyone whos ever been to prison if its cushy. anyone. ever.

And you're "quick ending" presupposes something far worse than anything here isn't waiting for them.
You're imposing your beliefs upon society which isn't exactly separation of church and state.
So considering some believe in a hell and some don't, isn't it wise therefor to ensure with certainty punishment IS meted out IN CASE you're wrong?

Evidently not.
Dude. Seriously.

You can't understand, not agree, but understand, their may be understandable perspectives other than yours?

The state sanctioned murder of 117 innocent men (undeniably many more), is not what I, or their families, would call a smokescreen. And yes, there are other reasons to be against it, but this reason is certainly a valid argument on its own.
Don't give me your f***ing Manson lamps.
