Memphis, TN

All Southeastern citizens currently on Death Row are commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The citizens of the Southeast, last weekend, adopted iniative 78, which provides for the commuting of these sentences. With this law, we affirm that life is not the government's to take. Let me assure Southeastern citizens that these criminals will not be released, but remain in prison until their deaths. Let me also reassure that violent criminals are kept in high security facilities; they will not excape and threaten our society.

However, our citizens have chosen this life affirming course. I'd especially like to thank Senator Ebowed, who proposed and staunchly advocated for this change.

Warden, please seal off death row for the time being once the prisoners have been transferred. Thank you.

The moratorium expires next week, btw.  I've been trying to get this for a couple months; good timing for this to finally pass.

All but us I believe. In any case, I'll be introducing an initiative soon that would seek to establish a Southeast Prison Board with an accompaning Commissioner (Lt. Gov. duty here Smiley) that will regulate the prisons in the Southeast. Hopefully, if approved, the Board will start implementing the harsher penalties described in the Brutal Crimes Initiative.

Implementing penalties yes, but hopefully also implementing rehabilitation for non-violent offenders not described in that initative.

Just wondering, but isn't the reason we had the death penalty partially because the prison system was over crowded?  Why not convert death row into more prison cells?  I know I'm not really a Southeasterner anymore, but just thought I'd throw in my two cents worth.

I know that the Mideast has abolished the Death Penalty, and I'm pretty sure that the Midwest has.

This did not abolish the death penalty, only commuted existent sentences.

Yes, I tried to abolish it in the Southeast, but it failed, so I transferred my initiative to the Midwest, where it easily passed.

The results were 10-8-2, you being one of the two abstentions (Bono being the other). To be clear, I voted nay.

I could have made it clearer that this does not end the death penalty outright, just for those currently on death row. Probably should have said:

"Warden, for the time being, seal off death row once the prisoners have been transferred."

I am in agreement with you over the wisdom of this policy, but if you and Bono had not abstained and instead voted "Nay" like I and 7 others did, this would not have passed.

I wasn't complaining, just pointing something out,
