similarities and differences when it comes to life in prison versus the death penalty. Some people may ask which punishment is worse. “The two types of punishment are similar in the way that they are the most extreme sentences administered today” (2008).

As the article said, “...around 120 of the 3,000 inmates on death row in America are not guilty.” That’s much to high of a number to tolerate. Even one is too much. This punishment is supposed to end the most dangerous and effective criminals. How then are innocent people being killed for the sake of ‘justice’?…

In several studies, it comes to a conclusion that the death penalty costs more than housing an inmate. To back up on this, the Death Penalty Information Center gives several statistics on how to prove the cause correct. It is informed that the variation of the death penalty is worth close to billions of dollars, with pre-trial, sentencing, housing, and the amount of lethal dosage to be distributed. Examples of statistics when it comes to costs: Kansas ($400,000), California ($4 billion),…
