Many criminals are given this severe punishment in India, 'Hanged till death'. But, it remains in papers only as we have seen only a few cases where, actually this punishment has given. Also, we often see him going to appeal and after a few years,lessens his punishment as 'life sentence'. Thus he is escaping from the hands of law leaving all others just fools.
Do you think our country has to implement this punishment seriously as that it may bring more fear in society and prevent them from committing many serious offenses.
Also, I always feel that our federal constitution takes more time to punish convicts and gives them more freedom asking more proofs. What do you think?

Delay in justice is inherent in a civilized democratic society that runs on the principle that no innocent should be punished even though guilty may be spared.
Presently, death sentence is awarded only in rarest of the rare cases. As this sentence is extreme, appeal to supreme court is allowed. There is also provision for mercy petition. This takes time. If there is extraordinary delay, death sentence is commuted to life imprisonment. Any way, this cannot comfort an excused. even if saved from gallows, he remains under constant fear of hangman's noose. This fear is more dreadful than actual execution.
I think that death sentence should be either removed or reserved only for terrorism, treachery to nation and inhuman killing. Flogging should be introduced instead.
Certainty of punishment is more effective. Steps should be taken to speed up the judicial process.

What is flogging?
I think flogging means beating with rope as a punishment. :ohmy: :ohmy:
This could be beating with a leather whip or strap or a rattan cane. Such punishment is very effective. The rich do not mind paying fine. So monetary punishment is ineffective. Many do not mind even jail sentence. But flogging is more feared.
Sandhya, its true, in some countries punishment for crimes such as dealing in drugs, raping, killing etc. is cutting off some or all of one's limbs and letting them bleed to death. Some countries still mete out public lynching in cases of adultery, lynching means being stoned to death by blood-thirsty crowds!

Such cruel punishments!!!! :ohmy:
If he is innocent, it won't be good.
Do you think, our country should also give some more severe punishments and fast judgements?
Yeah, too bad if you are innocent!
Yes, we need more speedy trials and subsequent judgements because justice delayed is justice denied!! :angry:
And yes, the most heinous acts of crime should be punished by killing the perpetrators, not just by hanging but by meting out long-drawn painful deaths!! :angry:

I do not favor amputation of limbs as this incapacitates an individual from doing any work for life. The object of punishment is to correct and reform. So, any punishment should not permanently damage a criminal's body. Fine is monetary punishment and if heavy enough, this may be effective. Imprisonment, particularly Rigorous is also good enough. Whipping, caning or flogging results in physical pain but this may not damage the body personally. Medical treatment can also be given after flogging. Death sentence is deterrent but does not reform.
So, death sentence should be either removed or given only in very rare cases. Flogging should be introduced.

In some film, I have seen....can't remember
Only criminal mind of the person should be punished....not the criminals.
I think, even if laws here are strictly followed, our society can be cleaned many much. Still, I think people are fearless about the treatment of our country.
Last week.....
I think no one has forgotten Govindachami, who rapped and killed a girl in train last year.
Now he is in jail waiting for 'hanged'.
He conducted fasting in jail, because he asked authorities to give a Chicken Biryani and they didn't give him. Next day itself, he was given special mutton biryani because authorities can't see him dying fasting :laugh: :laugh: :silly: :blink: :blush:
What do you people have to say?
If normal citizen feels that he get everything from jail, he won't be scared of committing crimes. Isn't it?
Even if, in jail, if he gets everything he want, will he fear???????
Nowadays mobile phones are also available in jails. Isn't it?

Imprisonment- simple or rigorous- is court discretion. The jail authorities cannot be sympathetic or vindictive to a prisoner. They must follow jail manual. The prisoners should be given facilities and treatment as provided in rules- neither more nor less.

Yes....
But I don't know why jail authorities fear such criminals and provides minerals and water for such persons to grow. :dry:
