Why is the death penalty a non-view event when it could be assessible to all by cable?

After a spirited debate with death penalty supporting friends, why isn’t the death penalty accessible to the populace? If the ideal of the death penalty is to make people think that if they killed someone they could end up in the gas chamber choking on poison gas like a Jew in the death camps or a Kurd in pre invasion Iraq or juiced full of volts in the electric chair. We have the needle now guess it is societies attempt to be more humane about killing those convicted of killing inhumanely.

Why do they do it in the wee hours of the morning or the middle of the night? Why only allow a few reporters, the family menders and some other suits to watch it? If they are going to kill someone in my name I think they should do it at high noon and televise is on cable pay-per-view, then if I wanted to see it and I don’t but I would like the choice, or anyone else who cares to see it to know for sure it is done. I feel it is better at being effective since we are a visual graphic nation more than not, to showing how you may end up if you kill someone. The proceeds the bigger the murderer the higher the view fee would go to the victim’s children 1st then the surviving spouse, then other close family.

If you are going to have it you should not be squeamish about seeing it carried out, after all, there are cable raw video shows that show horrible accidents, shoot outs and worse or it is on the evening news, far worse than a guy getting a needle in the arm.
