Milestones

We would like the Government to reintroduce the death penalty, and for this to be used instead of whole life orders, as we believe that it would act as an example for future criminals, free up prison space and reduce the burden on taxpayers.

If someone commits a crime serious enough to warrant life in prison why should the tax payer pay to maintain that criminal with the risk of them escaping or being released early and reoffending.
