31. Execution for a heinous crime is a *punishment*, just as a period of
incarceration for a less heinous crime (burglary, for example) is a *punishment*.

Here's a thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=1989326&mesg_id=1989326 that talks about a guy who killed several members of a family - even two kids - because of a possible testimony against him because of an arson charge.

That dead family did not get a 'last meal request', not even the 10 year old boy or teenage girl. No prom, no homecoming dance, no more birthday parties, nothing.
