. I believe that in many cases hanging is the easy way out for people who don't want to live their lives out in prison, look at shipman etc who took his own life because it was the easy way out for him. I truly don't think they should be hung, no matter what they have done, however they should be forced to live one truly awful life for the rest of their lives, send them to a siberian labour camp for example. Take away all their rights in prison, sod the tv, games and cushy number called a cell, make it hell on earth for them that they are living a living hell and make them suffer every single day they are alive. Much better than hanging them, they have a fear for a few moments then peace.
