Hanging was the Official method of execution when and after the Constitution and Bill of Rights was written. Therefore, it is NOT cruel and unusual. Rope is cheap and plentiful. We have become too civilized. A method of punishment does NOT work if the general population is unafraid of it. As it is, capital punishment is a joke as a deterrent because it takes 20+ years to enforce, and it is done in secret behind closed doors. We need to fix the process so that a criminal is executed in public within a year of his or her conviction. And life without parole should not be an option. If we hanged those who deserve it our states would have a lot more money to use for those who deserve it.
I suggest the biblically sound and god-approved method: Fling hand held rocks at them until they die, chasing the person through town if need be and noting down the names of persons refusing to participate in the stoning for later “education”.
