I have always thought I was for the death penalty. I feel if you do something horrible, you don’t deserve to live, and I always assumed it would cost us less money than having someone incarcerated for the rest of their life. Additionally, prisons seem to be an ineffective in providing anything meaningful or beneficial to society. A few years ago in a public speaking class I decided to speak on the death penalty. It was a persuasive speech and when I started I assumed I would be for it. By the end of my research, I felt very different. I think in a perfect world, I would be for the death penalty, it isn’t a moral code that swayed my decision, but this isn’t a perfect world and there are so many more factors. First I am all about the money
