I don't support the death penalty because I think its fair to kill a killer. I don't support the death penalty because I think its a sever enough punishment to keep people from commiting crimes. I just think that if someone is sentanced to life in prison it would be much more efficent simply to execute them. To me that makes more sence than keeping a person who is never going back into society alive.

As I said before, better law enforcement and living conditions may reduce the amount of crimes that occur, but there will still be capital crimes commited. There are reasons beyond the ones you listed for commiting crimes. Sometimes rational people find themselves in situations where they commit a crime. These kinds of things can be avoided, but they still happen. If the death penalty is abolished, then prisons will just be filled with people who have to sit in prison until they die.

The death penalty doesn't do much to stop crimes from being commited, but it takes care of people who have already commit these crimes, and sees that they won't do it again. People talk about abolishing the death penalty, I think we need to make it more efficent. If someone is sentanced to death, I think they should be taken out back and taken care of right away.
