The death penalty, also known as capital punishment, is a process where the state sends inmates to execution for grave offenses committed. There should be death penalties because they create closure, prevent more murders, and cost less. Death penalties give people comfort knowing that dangerous people are not out there.
The cost of capital punishment is inexpensive and there are many greater needs for that money. When criminals are given life sentence in prison, the government is spending taxpayer money on food and shelter for all of the inmates. However, if criminals are given death penalty, the tax money that would have been spent on food and shelter could therefore be spent on the welfare of the people. Hunger is a problem for lots of people in poverty and they are in need of food, but taxes are spent on lawbreakers. If there were death penalties, there would be money for the people in poverty. The inmates that committed awful crimes and are sent to jail waste time and money. Some do not even learn their lesson. A quote from my mom, “People are sent to prison for life, and as a tax payer we have to pay for it. That is ridiculous!” This quote explains a taxpayer’s point of view on paying the people to live who have committed horrible crimes. The cost of death penalties is inexpensive and the money can be used for people that need it.
Closure is important to people that have gone through horrible things, like a loved one being murdered. If the criminal is just sent to jail, he or she will just get back out again, while the family suffers for the rest of their lives for what that person did. My very close cousin was one of the victims of a brutal murderer, but the thought of the murderer going to jail did not give me the closure I was hoping it would. If the murderer were to be executed, it would have given me more closure and the justice that he deserved. Most people know the saying “An eye for an eye”. It applies to this situation, like when serial killers or psychopaths go on killing sprees, they should be put to death as well. A quote from Chad, “I believe that the victim’s family should be the ones who kill the criminal.” This tells how passionate he is about criminals like this getting justice. Closure is very important for the families that suffered from the doings of others.
Murderers can be prevented by sacrifices being made to protect others. Young ones can be inspired by adults, if they see bad influences such as criminals they could be inspired to be like them. However, if there are death penalties they will know the consequences if they follow that path. Criminals are like viruses to society infecting everyone, but if the virus is to be eliminated from the equation, it will equal a positive outcome. Everyone lives in harmony and any inhuman acts that cause harm will have consequences. A quote from mom, “It is a bigger consequence than going to prison and hopefully that makes a big stand on people and they will make better choices.” This quote from my mom explains that hopefully people will want to change after they know what the consequences are. Capital punishment is the best way to remove such inhuman people from society and to protect the wellbeing of others.
There should be death penalties because they create closure, prevent more murders, and cost less. Without death penalties, people will not learn. They will keep repeating their felony over again. Another reason would be lowering the surplus population, with all the people now; soon we would be the only species on earth. In conclusion, death penalties should be allowed because money should be used for people that need it, not inmates. Justice needs to be served for the families that had to suffer, and it protects the wellbeing of others.
