I believe the death penalty should be completely illegal in all states. Firstly, i dont see how killing someone punishes them for thier crime. They no longer have to face what they've done cause thier dead. I think it makes more sense to give them life in prison. Thats a good punishment because they have to spend the rest of their life in a place where they are constantly watched and limited on what they can do. And during this time they think daily about the crime they committed that put them in this position and they'll be miserable for the rest of thier days. I agree that the death penalty is a waste of time and money, especially if it cost ten times more to kill the prisoners than to keep them alive. We're already in a bad economical situation, i highly doubt this is helping! The death penalty is tens of millions of dollars that we could be using to pay off some of the debt America owes, and to helping the economy.

I totally agree I think a person is better being punished by going to jail than being killed. It's not only a waste of money but it makes us look mad too...

i def agree with your response. instead of killing a criminal off, they should have to suffer and think about what they've done.
ReplyDeleteeven though it sounds cruel, just think about what the crimal did to get there in the first place. sitting with the crime you commited for the rest of your life is a far worse punishment than death itself.
