I advocate capital punishment. However, I have some recommendations that could improve it.
#1. Public Punishment. You can't really get a sense of, "Oh noes, I'm gonna die so I better not do that!" If you can't actually see the person executed. So, Live TV or public square.
#2. Uniform method. What's with frying and poisonning and hanging and beheading and shooting all those prisoners? It would be easier to just shoot everyone instead of choosing a method.
#3. Quicker executions: prisoners cost the State too much money. Just get it over with.
However, I'd like to note that with the exception of political criminals, people who deserve the death penalty also usually deserve a 16-hour workday in a salt mine for the rest of their miserable lives. Let them give something back to the society that they have betrayed before they die of "natural causes" or workplace hazards.
