There is a lot of controversy surrounding the death penalty. Some people tend to believe that it is inhumane, while others take on the “eye for an eye” approach to it. I will tell you that I stand for the death penalty, because it seems fair that if you take a life, you don’t deserve to keep yours, and run the risk of you getting out, and killing again. I also believe that there are some other crimes that aren’t murder that are worthy of taking a criminals life for, such as rape, which would also save some money.

We need a different outlook at the death penalty, because when one human being knowingly commits an atrocity on another, why should we keep them alive, with the possible chance of release, and committing another terrible act? I find the American public would agree that we find some other crimes worthy of the taking of an inmate’s life as well. We could also save some money, in which Dudley Sharp (1997) goes to state, “Many opponents present, as fact, that the cost of the death penalty is so expensive (at least $2 million per case?), that we must choose life without parole ( 'LWOP ') at a cost of $1 million for 50 years. Predictably, these pronouncements
