Death Penalty

My views on the death penalty can lean back and fourth if I support it or not.

I think that murderous criminals that think they have the power to take away someones life and rights from this world should have the same actions reflected upon them. If the criminal was a mass murderer i think the Penalty would suit their punishment. Its not okay for someone to think and act upon taking away someones life. Everyone has the right to live a happy life in America, and for someone t take that right away from a living person is wrong. The penalty should be used for extreme cases that the state knows for sure that the criminal is guilty

I also think that a criminal living their whole life in jail to think about what they did is a prolonged, well deserved punishment. For someone to live all their life in solitary or locked up, not to see the outside world again and to have plenty of time to think about what they have done is torture for the mind. Also, if we were to wrongfully convict a criminal and he was innocent but sent to the death penalty then that would cause major problems.

In some degree with certain circumstance, the Penalty might be suitable to extreme cases, but also letting the criminal suffer and live the rest of their life in jail is also suitable for most cases. Its a back and fourth judgement
