Turn them loose. No one wants to feed them. Arkansas people with poor voting skill and knowledge caused this. Voting in people that can't write a a sound law. Let them pay the bill.

If the law makers can't get this right ,take the $$$ it takes to keep these alive out of the pockets,to bad there can't be a gas leak where these 10 are and it gets them all at one time.

Give them the option of choosing their method of death. Hanging, lethal injection, electric chair or firing squad. Let the one sentenced to death decide. If they dont pick, spin the wheel of fate and see what pop ups. Im fed up with this rediculous crap. Over 40 sitting on death row eating up tax payers dollars while this is argued. Make the families of those challenging this pay for their keep, spend my money somewhere else.

Protector they had the very same problem with old sparky is the very reason that come up with lethal injection. Our laws are to easy. Cruel and unusual are the crimes like murder. Why should the punishment be any different.

A bullet to the head is quick enough and cheaper.
