I agree with you. There can be many other options for someone who does a crime. I mean if they do it on perpose then they should get the dealth penalty. Its not fair for these people who are innicent and for these people who just accidently got into a crash or something. It is totally different when a person thinks in their mind "I'm going to kill them" now that person should be given the death penelaty. But sometimes they should be more leaniant about these people. We are all only people, and sometimes we make mistakes. |

Dear Jayashree Pakhare,
My name is Jessica. I am doing a response to an article that I disagree with for my English class. I disagree with this article because we are spending millions of dollars on our prisoners each year. I feel that the death penalty is a great way to save taxpayers money and to get rid of these criminals filling up our jails. The eight reasons that were given for why the death penalty should be outlawed are heinous. If a person has got them self into jail for doing such a terrible crime they don't deserve to live a decent life in jail. I feel that the United States wastes too much money on prisoners. We can be spending this money on people who are in need of it. Instead we are spending millions of dollars on people who have committed crimes.
One of your arguments that I disagreed with was denial of basic rights.I disagree with this because these people have taken the basic rights away from other people in order to get into prison. These prisoners had to take away the rights of another person in order to get into this much trouble.
Another argument that I disagree with is the possibility of error. It is very unlikely that there will be a mistake made. With all of the technology that we have it is difficult to make a mistake as big as this. We now have finger printing, DNA technology, surveillance cameras and much more technology to prove innocence and guilt.
I disagree with the one point about the lack of deterrence. I don't feel that the death penalty is used as a deterrent. It is a punishment for a crime that was committed. This is not used as a deterrent because not everyone that commits murder has to face the death penalty. You also said " By giving capital punishment, the family of the victim is permanently traumatized and victimized. They are often punished by their loved ones without their fault, even though they are innocent." I disagree with this because if these people are murderers or rapists they have also traumatized and victimized the families of the victims and the victims themselves.
I feel that the death penalty is needed because without it our prisons would be overcrowded. It also lessens the risk of hard core criminals escaping and continuing to commit crimes. The death penalty is used only when necessary. I believe that the death penalty should only be used in cases involving serial killers or serial rapists. The death penalty should be kept around for those criminals that are threatening the lives of others. These criminals do not deserve to be left in prisons with other prisoners threatening their lives. I feel that the death penalty is necessary because it eliminates these criminals that have committed these heinous crimes.
Sincerely,
Jessica Bennett |

the death penalty for the man that murdered my wife and doughter was the best thing that ever happened to me. i felt relief that that man will never harm another again. he is lucky that he got the death penalty when he did because when he took my family and i saw him for the first time, i almost shot him. but i didn't. he got what he deserved for killing my wife of 17 years and my 14 year old doughter. may he never rest in peace. and i pray he is burning alive in the depths of hell. |

we shouldn't interfere in the work of our creator-god.we,human beings are puppets in the hands of the mighty and should remain so;not trying to be proved better than him.Furthermore,there are numerous of alternatives to be considered before choosing the path of ''death penalty''. |

I think the death penalty is horrible and no one should be killed incase future evidence comes up later. |

I disagree.
To what everyone has been saying about how capital punishment violates the constitution because of a person's rights to happiness and life, stop and think for a second. These people are being executed because they have violated someone else's rights to happiness; they have murdered someone.
I, as a Christian, I agree with forgiveness, but there is a point when people need to face their actions. It's not like we're killing innocent victims who can't fight back for themselves; quite the opposite. Once someone has killed, it only gets easier to do it again, not harder.
When these people killed, they made a conscious decision to do so, and they must face up for what they did. |

Sir:
In my opinion the death penalty,goes against the constitution of the
united states.Because it says Behold these truths to be self evident
that all men are created equal, with certain unaliable rights.And among these rights are life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness. |

made a mistake in last comment. The government SHOULDN'T be able to decide who lives and who dies. Our government need change and we need change and they need to abolish the death penalty |
5/8/2009 |
| Briana |
the death penalty is the government legally taking the life of another person. If anothe rperson can;t take the life of another perosn why should the government be able to. The government is just abusing its power. The government should be able to decide who lives and who dies |

I think that the death penalty is just a waste of time because there ain't no way the victim will just come back to life like that if you execute the criminal...and thats STUPID! |

the capital punishment that can lead to a injustice which can take a precious life away and let the criminal freely and i think that it should be banned in every country that is going on like iran and usa. |

i think that capital punishment is very bad because you is pitting a lot of effects on the society around you. If you really didn't know it is really not stopping crimes at all because the more you do death penalty the more crimes because people feel like if you hurt my family or friend i'm gonna hurt you. |

capital punishment is not the only way that justice can be served. killing someone is immoral, and i believe the government agrees with me, but then why is they a thing such as capital punishment. Im strongly against it and will always be. |

plus even if we did kill the murder we would be sinking to there level.

the thing is with capital punishment is that how can you be sure if the persons guilty or not.
we could be killing an inocent man |

capital punishment should not be banned
criminals should be punished
we must first find out the real culprit then punish the latter |

capital is inhumane and should be removed from our justice system. It is not right for the state to kill off someone who killed someone else because then its just being hypicritical. How can the state kill off someone in the name of justice, its just not right. Morality is never upheld by a legalized murder. Killing off the accused is not going to bring back the victim, and no matter what kinda of justice the state gives the murderer it is not going to fill the void one has for there lost loved one. The death penalty is not only barbaric, in what is suppose to be a civilized society, it is a cruel and degrading punishment, and a deniel of human rights. |

I like to think about it like this: If you enter into a contract with a painter to paint your house, and he fails to complete the job, do we just forbid him from entering into any other contract? No, we sue him, not only for cost of having the paint done but for damages as well (pure punishment). Well, when someone kills someone, they've violated the social contract (see thomas hobbes), so instead of just incarcerating them, we should kill them. Think about it logically and rationally rather than emotionally. |

If you are against the death penalty than I sincerely hope you or a close family member is raped and killed. That way, you will know what it's like to have to give your money to pay for food and shelter to someone you raped and killed a family member of yous. Then, and only then, do I want to hear your opinion on the death penalty. Oh, and the purpose of it is not to deter, bu to punish...that's it. |

i just wntd to comment on mr unknown for sayin" i bet that all them white people were the ones who wanted the death penity to be a law"
i am white, my best friend is an african american and we both agree that death penalty should be banned as we are all human being no matter what colour we are, we still don't have the power to decide whether a person should lose his life, his last breath or continue it happily knowing that it was a matter of second away from losing his life, no human being have the power to take someone's life away even if that person is guilty. maybe life imprisponning can be enough as the guilty person will have to live his life with his sins and guilt that will torture and hunt him for the rest of his life inside the four walls. furthermore, why should we entre race in his topic, colours don't matter,they made a crime they have to pay for it no matter what gender, nationality, religion or colour. In law's eyes we should be all equal. |

What does she mean by "48% homicide rate"?... 48% of what? Also there are obviously going to be more homicides in New York than Wyoming. Capital punishment is just one factor. There is no evidence that there is no deterrence. I'm not really sure if there is evidence for deterrence either. |
