PRO DEATH PENALTY QUOTE OF THE WEEK [SUNDAY 5 AUGUST 2012 TO SATURDAY 11 AUGUST 2012]




QUOTE: "When a state puts death row criminals to death quickly, it creates a chilling effect on violent criminals in our society," Sheriff Jack Parker said. "While working in the jail in the 1980s, I often heard inmates say the only thing that kept them from killing their victim was their fear of the (electric) chair. Unfortunately, waiting too many years for a death sentence to be carried out is bad for the victim's family, bad for justice and dilutes any deterrent value." [Sunday 17 July 2011]

AUTHOR: Sheriff Jack Parker (born 21 September 1962) was elected Brevard County Sheriff in Florida in 2008. http://www.flsheriffs.org/sheriffs/florida-sheriff-directory/brevard-county
