    I don't understand why Texas voters support such inhumane conditions. All these "Christians" who support this kind of cruel punishment need to have a "come to Jesus" moment, literally.

        Might as well make every criminal offense a capital punishment, if rehabilitation isn’t the point anymore.

        Why even waste your money on for-profit prisons if you want the prisoners to die?

          This guy doesn't want them to die, he wants them to suffer.

            I read it as he wants them to die of heat stroke, because their lives are unimportant and not cherished by God.
