Against death penalty

The question is, does death penalty actually save lives?

If your family/friends are killed, you would want to get revenge right?

lets say its a married man who killed your family/friends and you kill them back/is sent to death penalty, wouldn't his family want revenge too?

This is like a cycle..

they kill, you kill, they kill, you kill

Theres no stopping this cycle if the death penalty isn't abolish

According to roughly a dozen recent studies, executions save lives/ For each inmate put to death, the studies say, 3- 18 murders are prevented...

so.. lets say.. if the man is dead, and you recently found out that he is innocent. Theres nothing you can do about IT.

Reasons to GO AGAINST DEATH PENALTY:

1) executions cost more than life in prison

2) the innocent may be wrongly executed

3)crime rates have not gone down

4)killing is wrong

5) life in prison is already enough

6) why kill people who kill people to show killing is wrong- yes we want to make sure that there is accountability for crime and an effective deterrent in place; however, the death penalty has message of " you killed on of us, so we'll kill you". The state is actually using a murder to punish someone who committed murder. Does that make sense?

7) financial cost to taxpayers of capital punishment-most people don't realise that carrying out one death sentence cost 2-5 times more than keeping them in prison

8) it is barbaric and violates the "cruel and unusual" clause in the Bill of rights- Whether is electric chair or gas chamber or lethal injection or hanging, it is barbaric to allow this kind of death to be made.
