What do with think of China killing the Brit drug runner?

I doubt it is difficult to give orders out of prison. You talk to a guy, he tells his girl that visits him, shit gets done on the outside. Easy as that.

Problem is it shouldn't be easy as that. No visits from your girlfriend, you're in fucking prison. No cell phones, you're in fucking prison. You should be so damned tired at the end of the day from hard labor that all you can think about is going to sleep because you have to be up at the crack of dawn to do it again.

Yep... Legislating morality is losing proposition. Are you a fellow Libertarian?

Agreed. There was a time in this country when the govt had zero say in what you put in or did to your body. You want to do coke, fine, go ahead. You're free to snort your life away if you so choose. Now if you commit a crime while high, you pay the price for the crime you committed.

Freedom is the right to be free and live with the consequences of your choices (good or bad). Freedom is not the 'right' to have the nanny state strip away everyone's freedom in the name of protecting you from yourself.
