I would suggest that your initial wording was quite deliberately misleading, nothing really to do with the detector chair but everything to do with the percentage of answers based on the obvious (but wrongful) assumption.
Proves a point though doesn't it! (or perhaps 2 points)

Interesting article but seeing as the Prison Officers are generally acknowledged to be doing a lot of the trafficking, hardly a lot of use.

What a great idea!

These chairs should help to stop a lot of the items currently being smuggled into - and out of - prisons.

Yes. If it stops drug smuggling into prisons.

I thought the article said eight had been fitted and yes it seems like a good idea to me.


bluestrobebabe
no because i think death is an easy way out of things. people who commit crimes eg rape, murder etc should be punished slowly and painfully x

were you talking about a wheelchair or a fly zapper?

I think it is an excellent idea, at least the prison guards won't have to put their hands up unmentionable places!!

It's just a pity that they can't detect drugs this way.

The death sentence is not a deterrent, it does not work in many countries that have the death sentence.
And if the wrong person is executed, you can`t say sorry and bring him/her back.
But Life should mean just that...Life!


?
Yes for the murderers. Make the punishment fit the crime i say.


Molly
I think there should be electric chairs everywhere!


xanderdoom
Well, i personally think it should be used if the crime committed was that serious, that the only way of satisflying the publics needs would be to use the electric chair.

all jokes aside its probably a good idea, it will help smuggleing stop

"yes but only for prisoners who are proven to be 100% guilty"

I'm not sure how this would work. Would you have three verdicts, 'Not Guilty', 'Guilty', and 'Really, Really Guilty'?

The point is that all Guilty verdicts are determined by the criterion 'beyond reasonable doubt'. If you have a special status for "100% Guilty", then it means that any other kind of Guilty verdict must contain some doubt, else it would be 100% certain. This would leave you with '100% Guilty' and 'Not Guilty'. How is that different from the present, unless we have it as three kinds of verdict, one Not Guilty, and two kinds of Guilty, one being 100% Guilty, and the other being less than 100% Guilty?

Hence Not Guilty, Guilty, and Really, Really Guilty.
