Letter: In Brief
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: My blood boiled when I read about the new special unit being set up for Britain's three most dangerous criminals (report, 25 August). I feel that any normal citizen reading the chilling report about Robert Maudsley, who has killed and mutilated three fellow inmates whilst in prison, would feel that there can be no justification whatsoever in letting this creature live. Therefore, I call for the return of humane capital punishment in such cases.
