1. Capital punishment is the most severe punishment that’s used in the United States. According to the book of Essentials of Criminal Justice (L.J. Siegal and J.L. Worral 2013), approximately 1500 confirmed executions have carried out in America. The death penalty is the most used capital punishment and it is also the worse. The death penalty is a capital punishment of execution. The reason that the death penalty is controversial is because it doesn’t deter crime and consequently, morally incorrect. When it comes to the death penalty I’m against it because of five reasons: The possibility of error, it has no effect on criminals, it is very expensive, it is really wrong and it is also cruel and inhuman.

The second reason I’m against the death penalty is because it causes more crime than it deters it. I feel that giving a suspect the death penalty just gives them a reason to continue to commit a crime. They feel since they are already going to execute them, then why not continue killing.
4. The third reason why I’m against the death penalty is because it is very expensive. There are many steps before an inmate is executed and because of all these steps, there is more money coming out of the communities’ pocket. The government spends up to at least 200 million dollars on the death penalty. The reason that it is so high is because we have to pay for housing the criminals not to mention the death penalty. No one wants to have to continue to pay high taxes just so that the government can kill a criminal.
5. The fourth reason why I’m against the death penalty is because it is wrong. The death penalty is a brutal way of getting justice. Also with it being another type of murder you’re causing family and friends to lose loved ones. They didn’t do anything either just like the others victim family do so it’s no need to kill, all it does is creates more and more
