The reason why I'm against death penalty is because I think all kinds of penalties should be based on providing some kind of rehabilitation for the criminals to adapt to the society again. It's should not be about revenge or simply to "punish" the criminal because s/he "deserves it". Such an act such as death penalty is in the end completely pointless and will not change anything what has been done.
Perhaps the victims relatives will feel a little better, but that’s not certain.
To mentally break down a individual for the rest of his lifetime in a prison cell is just as pointless to give him or her death penalty because both penalties is only about punish the criminal or getting revenge. It won’t provide an opportunity for the criminal to rehabilitate. |
