Imagine, the news comes on and you hear about the latest gruesome murder, or the one of many rapes that occur daily in the United States. What if you were that person on the T.V. screen, would you want justice for the world crushing, life-altering pain that someone caused you and your family? The death penalty should be made legal in the United States because it allows for justice to be given to those people who have committed vigorous crimes and most importantly, it decreases the chances of overcrowding in prisons, where dangerous criminals could potentially be let free.
