Capital Punishment and moms in Prison reminds me of one of the great Author books “I know why the caged birds sings.” The Death Penalty also known as “Capital Punishment” meaning an execution sanctioned by the government to be put to death should not be legal in my opinion because if that person is innocent and is eventually executed it is not possible to make that right to that person or reverse that decision because death is permanent.

This article is able to give insight into both sides, as George Will is a conservative who is against the death penalty. The author of this article, George F.…
The death penalty differs throughout the different states depending on the most prominent beliefs of that specific state. Our democracy should strictly regulate the death penalty and its administration among all fifty states. By regulating the death penalty those accused and eligible for capital punishment will be able to have the most fair trial possible. The administration of the punishment is an important factor in the entire death penalty. Regulating the way the administration could lead…
a loaded gun, this is problematic because it puts 5 people in the position of knowing that they could have been the one to kill a potentially innocent man and take away the life of another human. With electrocution the prisoner is strapped into a chair and then electrodes are strapped to the person’s legs and head. A 30 second jolt of electricity is sent through the person’s body and smoke begins to pour out of the head and the smell of burning flesh is present. It may also take several jolts…
