Reader's letter: "Let’s try a deterrent that may make people think twice about their actions"

So why do we keep them in prison getting three meals a day, clean clothes, free TV and many more perks?

In 2018/2019 it cost £44,600 per year, per person to keep them in prison, what a waste of tax payers money.
I know people will say that if capital punishment was brought back mistakes could be made, but in such cases as mentioned above where there is unquestionable evidence as to their guilt, let’s try a deterrent that may make people think twice about their actions.
Nothing else is working.
