Thoughts on the Death Penalty (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Thoughts on the Death Penalty
The design of punishment is to prevent the commission of crimes and to repair the injury that hath been done thereby to Society or the individual. And it hath been found by experience that these objects are better obtained by moderate but certain penalties, than by severe and excessive punishment: and it ts the duty of every government to endeavor to reform rather than exterminate offenders. And the punishment of dentin ought never to be inflicted where it is not absolutely necessary to the public safety - Laws qf' Pennsylvania. Stat. Qf21794.
