We have made the changes mainly because of a rampant growth of perpetrators in our country. We have steadily moved away from capital punishment and hard labor as the society's sensibilities have been pricked, but the alternatives to the once harsher penalties have served to increase the prison populations. Over 120 people on death rows have been released innocent. Many had already served many years on death row. If we speed up the process we are bound to execute an innocent person. Once someone is killed the case is closed. If we execute an innocent person we are not likely to find that out and, also, the real criminal is still out
