“How come life in prison does not mean life? Until it does, we are not ready to go away with the death penalty. Stop thinking in terms of "punishment" for a minute and think in terms of safeguarding innocent people from incorrigible murderers” (Jesse Ventura).

Many people have asserted that the murder rate in the United States is increasing at an alarming rate. This means that they believe the number of murders is increasing much more rapidly than the population (Laurence and Scott).
Many people have asserted that the murder rate in the United States is increasing at an alarming rate (Sutherland). Is being punished towards the death penalty healthy? Being punished or even imagining being in his or her spot would be heartbreaking. The death penalty is not a very good way to punish him or her, even if he or she wants to do it to get it out of the way. The cost of punishing him or her is very dreadful watching them being in so much
