i support it, i think that if the person who shot someone should be dead too. if they didnt kill them but made them suffer they deserve life in prison. but it is cheaper to put the down and kill them then it is to keep them in prison. "Cases without the death penalty cost $740,000, while cases where the death penalty is sought cost $1.26 million. Maintaining each death row prisoner costs taxpayers $90,000 more per year than a prisoner in general population." Side: I support it.

This isn't the time of the Hammurabi's Code. We don't do an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Let alone a life for a life. You shouldn't get killed for committing a crime. Because technically, doesn't that make the criminal the person who does the killing? But no, since the government approved it, it doesn't make it crime. That just doesn't seem justified to me. 88% of the worlds criminologists agree that the capital punishment is bad. Also, 87% agree that abolishing the death penalty would not lower crime rates. 75% of the responses to this agree that “debates about the death penalty distract Congress and state legislatures from focusing on real solutions to crime problems.” Side: It should be abolished.
So i think the death penalty should be abolished because even with the death sentence there was still more and more crime happening every day. The death penalty didn't really have a affect on someone who knew they were on it because if anything that would just give them time to kill more and more people because they dint care because they already know they are gonna know. Side: It should be abolished.

I think that the death penalty should be abolished because it does not teach the criminals a lesson or help them recover it just gives them a way out.To get the death penalty you have to do something terrible like murder and you get a minimum of 25 years and at that point most people wouldn't want to live the rest of their lives in prison .I think that people that commit major crimes should have to be locked up for what they did.In 2018 there were 63 death row inmates and most would probably want it as a way to get out of having to pay for their crime.It is not only a way out its inhumane,five states in the us still have the electric chair as a second choice.This is why i think the death penalty should be abolished Side: It should be abolished.
