As robee stated, the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime. Criminals or temporarily insane people are not thinking of consequences when they're doing the crime, they're thinking how to get away with it. Most criminals believe that they'll never be caught.

It has been shown that it isn't a deterrent to crime. I used to be for the death penalty, but not now. I think it is worse to spend the rest of your natural life in prison. The picture of your victim should hang there too. I think this is a fate worse than death.

- blunders ensue. via fact that 1973 interior the U.S., 138 human beings have been released from dying row via fact they have been exonerated by using DNA and different new information (DNA isn't available in maximum homicide circumstances). those are all people who have been got here upon responsible "previous a actual looking doubt." A existence sentence is reversible. An execution isn't. - value - via criminal equipment designed to decrease wrongful executions (and the huge price of dying row incarceration), it expenses taxpayers plenty greater to execute somebody than to imprison them for existence. - it is not a deterrent - violent crime costs are consistently greater in dying penalty jurisdictions. - it is erratically and arbitrarily utilized. - via fact the U.S. is between the final last countries with capital punishment, many different countries refuse to extradite commonplace criminals who must be status trial right here. - It fosters a fashion of existence of violence by using keeping that killing is a suitable answer to a issue. - Jesus grow to be against it (see Matthew 5:7 & 5:38-39, James 4:12, Romans 12:17-21, John 8:7, and James a million:20). - existence without parole (LWOP) is on the books in maximum states now (all different than Alaska), and it skill what it says. people who get this sentence are taken off the streets. For stable. - As Voltaire as quickly as wrote, "enable the punishments of criminals be useful. A hanged guy is stable for no longer something; a guy condemned to public works nonetheless serves the rustic, and is a residing lesson."

WHY KILL PEOPLE?
It is so old testament. Why don't we quit eating pork and tie our shoes with only one hand on the Sabbath?
Does the death penalty stop murder? Rape?
How about the "education penalty?" Keep them in prison for the rest of their lives, and teach them. Heck, I'll do it.

I'm against it for many reasons.I find it as the only legal way to commit a homicide.I think that it isn't in the human being power to decide to give death to anybody,included criminals.

Only God can answer that one, us humans will have to keep guessing.
I do condone corporal punishment for the sick f*****s that rape children and pillage the old without a speck of remorse.
Maybe we should get back into stoning the guilty like they did in the old days!

I am for it. I am for it because if we have a death penalty, less people will be commiting crimes, and they are brought to justice when they are executed.

I think they should show it on public TV.
Not the actual death but the guy/gal pleading for his/her life just before they hit the switch.
