If it was brought back what would your Capital punishment be ?

A game of naked Twister with Michael Jackson.

Oh, what was the question again?

If anyone has seen the episode of Black Mirror called white bear, that certainly is one way of punishing an in humane b*stard.

I suppose if a state wishes to kill a person for a crime it would be best that it be carried out efficiently and relatively painlessly; I suppose plain old boring shooting would be best; less barbaric by far than the idea of poisoning someone with an injection (or, for that matter, the cruelty of indefinite imprisonment).

If the idea is to have the punishment reflect a degree of justice and revenge then I personally would find immurement to be pretty vicious and drawn out. Perhaps a happy medium would be drowning or hanging or exposure to the elements, such as crucifixion.

Everything that happened in the third part of 1984!

"Battle Royale" on one of our fine remote coastal islands. Would bring out the "best"(for lack of a better word) of the participants and would be very economical.

Taking someone's life as a form of punishment by the State is a disgusting concept, never mind a reality.

Eugh.

I find the idea of penning a person inside a room for most of the day for the rest of their lives to be far more repugnant.

I suppose we all have our own ideas of what would be a proper punishment, but to me all of this penning of men in cages where they are doomed to be treated as an equal to the lowest most recidivist and nasty person in the same prison is a barbaric system; I find it odd that a lot of people who would consider themselves to be humanitarian think it is a good system.
