Why aren't repeat criminal offenders just killed?

Spare me the argument about human rights; they don't care about anyone else's, so theirs should be forfeit.

I was watching this program last night called "Lockdown" on National Geographic.

I am sure that the show is edited and it could be fake but it was still interesting.

One of the officers who was interviewed said that many of the inmates [80 percent, I believe] come back, some even a mere 2 hours later.

The narrator was also saying that the jail was overpacked - so much so, in fact, that the employees were forced to release non-violent criminals to make room for the new ones.

I don't get it.

These people are a detriment to society and they victimize the innocent over and over again.

They care not for how their actions impact others, as evidenced by their choice to commit crimes many times.

I'm a compassionate, kind person but all of that ends when certain individuals make a choice to harm others due to their own greed, malice and lack of respect.

I think that an offender deserves three chances, 5 tops.

After that, if they choose to commit a criminal act, they should be shot and killed.

Taxpayers' money would be saved, society would be safer and jails/prisons would no longer be [literally] bursting at the seams if we were to rid the planet of those who cause sufficient harm to others.

What do you think?
