THE DEATH PENALTY
I feel that the death penalty is an cruel and unusual punishment. There are many alternative means of punishment that would sufice for such crimes that might deserve the death penalty. Even if it does cost more to keep the prisoner in jail for life it is worth it on the small chance that the prisoner may be proven innocent at a later date. Also depending on the crime the victims family/friends may be looking more for revenge than a fair sentencing and push for the death penalty even if it isn't deserved. I personally feel that life in prison in solitary confinement is a worse penalty then death. The death penalty should be outlawed completely or be used only in vary rare cases when the criminal is 100 percent guilty and death is the only justification for his or her crimes.

Scrat, how can u justify letting a man live that has been convicted of killing an entire family, do you think that even for one second that guy gave that family a fair punishment? Anyone that does somethign so terrible should be put to death, bottom line. Jail has become a joke, they watch t.v. and play sports, they are one step away from being treated like a hotel guest.
