I believe that the government should keep the death penalty , but use it when its nessasary to use it if its a murder or some kind of child rape. Cruel and unusual punishment is something that the government takes seriously even though each person has rights they should know how to use them and know that if they make a HUGE mistake involving someone's life that there is consequenses for them. Death penatly and other terms should be used to those who are harmfull to the community and who need to be put away for harming someones life.
