Hire more cops.

And come up with more imaginative and entertaining forms of capital
punishment. Why not make a Saturday night TV show out of it? Get some
miscreant up in front of the cameras and let him plead for his life to the
audience at home.
"This man has been convicted of robbing, stabbing and raping a young
family. You can spare his life by calling this number: 938938493893 - or
you can affirm the death penalty by calling *this* number: 82928392829"

Then read the results at the end of the show along with the winning state
Lottery numbers. Now *that* would be massively popular TV show format with
the People. I should patent that! :-D
