Death Penalty - Poll

Tbh there is no argument for "no". If the person has admitted that he killed/raped several/mass murdered then they die. There isn't an arguement.

Yes but if someone got the death penilty then they realise it him/ her who did the crime they would have killed an innocent person.

Read my post >.>

Okay, so surely you don't believe that the death penalty is an easy way out? That they don't have to spend the time in prison or really account for anything they have done. Their life just 'stops.' With a jail term, they should really spend that time alone, with little to do (no TV like some prisoners get) or radio. Also, there may be miscarriages of justice and people get killed for nothing. I believe that noone deserves the death penalty, not even Saddam Hussein.

No, death shouldnt be put upon just because they can.

Yes bring it back, it would make half of them think about it before doing it :)

If you call them, they won't suffer for what they've done. I think putting them in solitray for their whole life is better

Yes - they should be put in prison with no amenities - but we all know that's not the case. Half of them don't even serve their full sentence and half of it is chopped off as soon as they start. Our prison system is to be quite frank, a disgrace.

We don't have the capacity to imprison people properly, we've run out of space and resources. Keeping prisoners alive and healthy costs a hell of a lot, and the longer you keep them in the more extra prisoners will come about during their sentence, and so even more space is needed. This is why people get released so early, even murderers and extremely dangerous people. We used to ship our criminals off to Australia but they took over and run the country now so we can't do that any more.

As for miscarriage of judgement, the figures for that aren't very high in parts of America where they do have the death sentence, and I believe that 1/100 (the figures are far fewer than that, just using an example) mistakes is fine if it means we do get rid of the 99 other dangerous people.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
