| I think capital punishment has had its days, as most countries besides America have already realized. I think making the criminals live out the remainder of their lives in captivity is a greater punishment than death. The only downside is that tax dollars must be allocated for the upkeep of these prisoners. And, also, as Section 8 said, innocent prisoners are being executed - which is absolutely not acceptable.
Overall, abolishing capital punishment is something that needs to be done soon - we (America) are behind other countries by using the death penalty in that it's a step above the use of torture...Very archaic stuff. |
