A Summary Of Prison Life August 01‚ 2010 When most of us think of prison life‚ we think of nothing but sitting in a cell‚ staring at blank walls‚ wishing that one could get out of the “joint”.

debate about capital punishment versus life in prison. I am in favor of capital punishment because it totally removes the possibility of an offender repeating his or her crimes and possibly saves the lives of others.
