The death penalty is a punishment of execution to people that break national laws. Last year alone there were 34 executions total in the US alone which has actually gone down from the past. The time it takes to process an event for a circumstance where the death penalty is needed is a great amount of time. It can take months to years to process the death penalty.

Those Americans shouldn’t be required to pay taxes that go towards people who have done terrible things to our country.

In my opinion, imprisonment would be the easy way out because then they still get to live don’t they? They may still have restrictions but they get the luxury of their own beds and they get all the necessities needed to
