8th Amendment
In my opinion, the death sentence is not a good way of punishment. For one there are a lot of cases where someone is found guilty and put to death but they really are innocent. How can you give someone their life back? And secondly I don't see the death sentence as a punishment. Having someone live the rest of their life in prison is much more of a punishment. They will have to deal with the guilt while they sit in their cell for the rest of their life.

I agree that living life in prison is much worse than being given the death sentence. I also like that you point out you can't give someone their life back, no amount of money or apologies would be able to make up for killing an innocent person.
