    The government says it’s okay to murder this person, so let’s murder him.

    By that “logic”, states also shouldn’t be allowed to imprison people.

      Imprisonment is theoretically less permanent than execution.

      But people definitely shouldn’t be profiting from imprisonment, and the conditions should be humane.

        I have a friend who is a plumber and most of his work is from jails.
