Why Is The Death Penalty Wrong?

Improved Essays
I personally think that the Death Penalty is wrong because of its not right to kill why should it be right to kill someone else with the death penalty, by going that far with everything you midis well have a purge. If someone if accused with murder then that person should have to deal with a punishment that nobody wants to deal with and that is spending there life in prison looking up for life with nothing to see is walls and bars because killing the person who had done the kill is too easy of a punishment, it isn’t even a punishment.
Legislative Branch: Death Penalty is wrong I understand punishment to people who do the wrong thing but to end their lives, the government should be able to subject criminals to the death penalty. The

I think that killing is always wrong no matter what. If a guy murders another guy and people murder him it’s just one more life gone. I thought that if one human being killed another, they deserved the death penalty. But, you know what that is too good for someone like that. They deserve to rot in prison. Prison can pretty much be like a living Hell. They can get the crap beat out of them, they can get in fights, and the cops/authority figures probably aren 't too nice... So many different things go on in there. As I said, the death penalty is too good for them. And, you 're really not making any sort of statement or point by saying, "Oh, since you killed so-and-so, now you die too." There 's no point made when you do that. But, it would suck if they knew they were going to rot in jail for the rest of their miserable lives, while others were free to walk the streets and enjoy life. I think that 's definitely the best punishment for a loser like that. My view is just that killing is wrong, we should

    In the article “Second Thought Of A ‘Hanging Judge’” David McCartin says “Rodney James Alcala, whom I sentenced to die more than 30 years ago… was again just sentenced last year for [5 more killings]” unfortunately since judge McCartin already sentence Alcala to death more than 30 years ago, the newly found victims families did not get to see Rodney get his justice. The death penalty cost these families their rights to find out who killed their victims, why they did it and see them be punished for it. The death penalty needs to end because it does not solve the problem and is cruel, it seems like the easy way out and it is expensive to kill someone.…

    I believe that there is a better way to sentence someone rather then sentence them to death. I think there should be no death penalty because one, it costs way too much.

    The death penalty is appropriate in deterrence of that criminal that they will not commit again. The death penalty is also deterrence for those wanting to know the consequences of their actions and if the legal system imposed the death penalty on all murder crimes then murder rates would fall. The death penalty is just that and that’s what it was put in place for is to deter others from committing the same crime. By allowing states to abolish the death penalty then we are allowing for more murders and more crime to be committed because the fear of death is now…

    The death penalty is mainly used in criminal cases when a criminal kills multiple people, he or she is a fugitive of the law, or when someone else has over sixty offenses. There are restrictions on who the penalty can be used against and the reason, for the penalty being put on a person. It is known that there are exceptions to all the rules and for this reason the death penalty should not be allowed in the United States. Imagine being a grieving mother whose child made a mistake because no one saw the warning signs, and no one got him help. It is realized that what they did was wrong but no matter how bad the crime committed was, you cannot force yourself to love your family any less and seeing someone you love punished by death is hard for…

    At the same time the methods used are different, people today believe it is desensitized to get closure by killing another human being for committing a capital offense. Our means to deter criminal activity ore to keep criminals from recidivating, in my opinion, do not work very well. The individuals on death row have to wait years to receive their punishment for their wrongdoing. The less serious offenders do their time as set in place by the system, with the possibility of parole, and after they do their time, they’re released back on the streets without having a reason not to commit another crime. Face the facts, if the offender can stay on the officer’s good side, stay off of the radar of the rough inmates, and is okay with being alone, the positives for the offender is a free bed, free food, and free showers.…

    It is gruesome and intrinsically wrong. We as an intelligent species have an inborn right to life. No one is truly better than anyone else, although some think otherwise. As equals it cannot be tolerated that one kills another contributing member of society who is for all intents and purposes not truly hurting anyone. The fact of the matter is, although we are equal, everyone is different and come from different backgrounds that do not allow for equal opportunity.…

    There are many murders that occur every year. People get killed for random and stupid reasons, for example, when an individual cheats on their partner. People need to find other solutions instead of killing someone. Murder is never okay in any situation because mentally unstable killers get the death penalty, no one has the right to take away another person’s life, it affects the whole family and community. The death penalty doesn’t make the situation any better, because another person's life is also being taken.…

    The death penalty has been around for as long as civilizations have been around, but is it wrong? Many people will argue that it is immoral, that the government can not and should not have the power to decide whether someone lives or dies. Many others will argue that it is necessary, whether it is immoral or not, as a punishment for those who commit heinous crimes, like mass murder, treason, terroristic attacks, and anything related to these three acts in any kind of way. So if about fifty percent of people argue that it is wrong, while the other fifty percent argue that it is right, than who is correct? People who argue that the death penalty is wrong, whether because they believe it is immoral or that the government should not have that kind of power, are understandable.…

    Criminals may see that the death sentence is an easy way out for them. They would probably want to die than have to sit in jail for life reminiscing about the horrible crimes they committed and the guilt they feel. It would be torturous. “In jail criminals are confined to a cage and live in an internal environment of rape and violence where they are treated as animals “(Messerli n.p). People think that being sentenced to death is more painful than a life in jail.…

    In my opinion, the death penalty is a justice issue because it unnecessarily takes the life of another person. After learning and debating about the death penalty in history class, I personally feel that the death penalty is wrong. There are several solid arguments for why the death penalty is wrong and should be illegal. First, there is a racial and gender bias among death row inmates. The number of black men executed for killing white men is more than ten times the number of white men executed for killing black men.…
