There are several states which still boast the death penalty.  Several of them no longer use the electric chair, as they have resorted to what they believe to be more "humane" alternatives for execution/extermination.

You're refering, I believe, to the "safe haven" laws - first enacted in Texas in 1999, where it is called the "Baby Moses Law."  Some version has been adopted, to date, by 46 states.  \n\nHere's a good link for more info...

Yes, there are still states where this is nominally illegal. These are: Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia and (wouldn't you know it) Washington D.C.\n\nDo note, however, that the U.S. Supreme Court in "Lawrence v. Texas" (J Kennedy writing for the majority) in 2003 struck down all anti-sodomy laws in the United States, declaring that such laws violated the liberty phrase of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Most anti-oral sex laws had not been enforced prior to this overturning.

There was Morton Grove, IL, a Chicago suburb which outlawed handguns.  Kennesaw, GA passed an ordinance requiring gun ownership.  Gun control ONLY works on the law abiding anyway!

No. The typical Federal prison doesn't have any more "perks" than a state prison.  The only differance between the two is the crime that was commited.

Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island have outlawed all fireworks. Others have outlawed some.

Texas Board of Pardons \nand Paroles

From what you describe, it would be the guidelines the parole board is using that would change, not the sentence.  Just because they could release them earlier doesn't mean they will.

From what I understand and have been told by people who have been charged with it the state to avoid would be Nevada.They have a zero tolerance law and they can convict you for that.That is the only place that I have heard of.

In the Missouri Dept. of Corrections, an offender can refuse to participate in the 6-month or 1-year alcohol/drug treatment programs. But in doing so, they have blown any chance for parole and will have to serve 100% of their sentence. As a parolee, refusal to participate is a violation which could result in parole being revoked and the offender being returned to prison to finish their sentence.

Yes, as far as I know, the President of the United States is the only person who can erase a criminal conviction from your federal record.  But the Presidential Pardon is very hard to secure.\n\nState Governors may (not certain) also have that ability, for a state crime.  But only those who hold a top job in the Executive Branch can do this.

Not true.  Those laws are controversial and apply only to specific localities.  Step outside that locality and you will be arrested.  In fact, the feds freely ignore those local and even state laws and arrest people and successfully convict them.  California is the only state to pass a law like this on the state level and the feds freely ignore it and arrest people.  Actually, they show great restraint in this.  They only arrest the 90% of people who fraudulently claim they are sick in an attempt to smoke pot recreationally.  They ignore the ones who are actually sick.

you could be sentenced to a term in jail without parole.  it would have to be part of the sentence handed down when you're convicted.

nope.\n\nex felons in the u.s. are not allowed to own or be in control of any firearm.\n\n(Edit: As a side note in reponse to an answer given after mine, in most states ex felons ARE allowed to vote after completion of their sentence.)
