If so, what was their experience like, and how did that impact your relationship with them? 2. From your perspective, is it more important for the law to provide order or justice? 3. Should prisons be our go-to punishment? How should they fulfill this function? 4. Do you support prisoners having access to education, even if they might never leave prison? 5. Is the death penalty ever an appropriate response to crime? If so, how much should we be concerned with the dignity or suffering of the condemned? 6. How should we deal with children or mentally incapacitated adults who commit serious crimes? 7: What do you think about our current criminal justice system? Is it working properly?
