I'm not suggesting that there wouldn't be trials, but I'm wondering what effect it would have on crime and our prison system if we had the death penalty carried out on all convicted murderers and rapists as soon as conviction was handed down?
Would it decrease crime and would it make prisons safer and less crowded? What would our society be like?
