Capital punishment is an outdated method to deal with prisoners that have committed dreadful felonies. Currently 32 states have the death penalty in the United States. The U.S. is the only country on the western hemisphere with this punishment while countries in the middle east still have it. Since 1970, 1,400 felonies have been executed and 28 death penalties this past year. In due time the death penalty will be removed and with America’s luck that’s going to be the same era, where crime levels around the nation increase. Without capital punishment criminals will not have the fear of being sent to death before committing a crime.

Depending on the severity of your crime or the number killed in the act is over 3 than the criminal should be executed as long as the defendant is 100% guilty. With more guilty prisoners being executed, jails and prisons will have a lower inmate population. Having the fear of being found and executed for taking loves of others will make people think twice before ending a life.
[Heading 4]. Capital punishment is an old style of executing criminals. Most people would say it’s immoral to take one’s life, with others saying two wrongs don’t make a right. But imagine if there was a group of victims and one of the victims was your parent or sibling. With having captured the culprit of that crime he or she isn’t a human anymore.
