Some surely deserve a death penalty. Not a usual murderers, but rappers and others

We only feel pains when we are alive. The deaths did not know no pain and that means deaths penalties served no purpose than separation from the body which is better. Putting criminal behind bar is far better and that is a good punishment well deserved for criminals and criminality. Capital punishment serves no purpose than creating enemies and regret.
When government want to keep a criminal in a jail for 20 years it will be cost a lot so better take them into hell will be a good solution.

When someone already did crimes then chances of being into a good soul is less but atleast their death will be a good lesson for the people who thinking about making crimes.

The cost to keep a prisoner in prison for life is far less than to execute him because of so many appeals and other proesses Cheesy

However, I feel that it's better to give death than to life in prison for the fact that life in prison is very harsh!

I am not ideologically opposed to the death penalty for certain crimes, however due to incompetence and corruption of government, I have to oppose it on the principal that it too often makes mistakes. Prisoners can be freed, dead men stay dead.

This is the most important reason why I have always been (and still part of me) opposes death penalty because Innocents get convicted. But, I would love to see a innocent wrongly executed than an innocent young guy spending rest of his life in prison and getting out in old age  Cry

But since there will be appeals and chances of the innocent to get released if he stays alive, I'm in a dilemma to make any choice.

Concludingly, I am both against death penalty and life in prison as both are unnecessary harsh punishments. Supervision after serving a long prison time is better Smiley

I agree.
In general I am against this way of punishment. It would be better if prisoners would work for the state without being paid and offer their services to the public.
But for certain crimes such as pedophilia etc. I think that the criminals who do that deserve the strictest punishment.

Brutal punishment will actually reduce the crime rates so I always agree with the penalty even if its is death.

Not really, it has been proven that brutal punishments do not reduce crime rates. You used to get your arm cut if you were caught stealing and people were still stealing.

Death penalty saves us money since we dont have to pay for the prisoner. In cases where its confirmed beyond any doubt, death penalty should be applied.
In my country there is no such penalties for crimes so crime rate is huge when in the day time people doing it but look at the arab countries people think about the scary punishment and most of them will be scared to do any crimes.

I used to be against death penalty but after looking at the picture of reality, my sentiment goes to the victims now.

I agree, for heinous crimes it should be applied.

It's also a way to scare people who are thinking to commit such crimes.

I always used to be against death penalty.

My political leanings are mostly towards left (except for abortion where I belong to extreme right and a extreme pro-life).

But quite recently, I have started to agree on death penalty.

Why?
Not because I believe that death penalty is good punishment to stop criminals.

Because, life in prison is a much much much harsher than the death penalty.

Spending whole life behind bars like a caged animal is so so worse.

Many of my peers are against death penalty because they find death penalty harsh. (Which I still do). But they completely ignore how life in prison is much harsher.

Hence, if I be given the choice between death penalty or life behind bars, I'll choose death penalty.

But, will I choose death penalty if there's other alternative? No.

I think even the most extreme crimes deserves no more than 20 years in prison.

If the person is socio/psychopath and has no remorse, then, keep him under supervision after a long sentence.

But it's inhuman to lock away people for eternity (till they die).

Opinions ?
