THE DEATH PENALTY
Even though some people believe that some criminals should not be allowed to exist in society, the death penalty should be abolished because many religions teach that killing is a sin. I also believe that a quick and painless death is not severe enough punishment for some criminals.

Do you think
that criminals should be given a quick and painless death or a life long
punishment?
One of the reasons why I think that life in prison is better than the death penalty is because for each convict that is executed , that costs the state about $2,000,000 and for life in prison it's $500,000, which is a lot less.
Another reason why I think that the death penalty should be abolished is because of the risk of killing someone who is not guilty. Since 1976 82 inmates have been removed from the death row for having been wrongfully convicted. Statistics show the death penalty is not a deterrent for crime. In fact, the murder rate in the US is 6 times that of Britain and 5 times that of Australia. Neither country has the death penalty.
A lot of people are against the death penalty because some religions forbid it: Catholic, Presbyterian, Quaker, Amish, Mennonite religions think basically killing is wrong.
All in all, killing human beings is morally wrong and other forms of punishment should be tried to mete out justice to society
