The death penalty does not work. It is not a deterrence. [View All]

Murderers should be incarcerated and made to THINK about their crimes. Let the guilty conscience be their executioner.

True, some do not have consciences.

But I think most do.

Jan. 13, 2004 | LONDON (AP) -- A British family doctor convicted of killing 15 patients -- but suspected of killing hundreds more -- was found dead in his prison cell Tuesday, the Prison Service said.

Dr. Harold Shipman was found hanging in his cell at Wakefield Prison in northern England at 6:20 a.m. and pronounced dead almost two hours later, the service said.


Shipman, who worked in the Manchester suburb of Hyde, preyed largely on elderly women, killing them with lethal injections. His crimes horrified the nation and raised questions about how he was able to evade detection for so many years.
