Death Penalty should be allowed

It's good to see my opponent returned in time for the last round. With no further ado, I will start rebuttals. Pro writes "Let us first picture a world without death penalty. Well, I see crime rates as high as ever, murders increasing everyday and innocent people not getting their rights back. Chaos roams the streets and people committing crimes to get money and in their heads they know that the worst that can happen to them is prison. For some prison might even be a relief compared to their living standards. "Just because you see it doesn't make it so. We have places without the death penalty, and they haven't descended into madness. Most rational people wouldn't want to commit crimes anyway, and the lunatics who do commit crimes usually end up imprisoned. I suggest rather than the death penalty, we increase the undesirability of jail. Everyone who is jailed should be forced to do hard labor at below minimum wage, the proceeds of which go to their victim(s) or the prison. This is far more profitable than killing them, as now they are working for their keep and then some. Pro writes "So abolishing death penalty only encourages people to break the law and murder more innocent people. More gangs would form and assassinations increase because of the lower punishment received. Right now, some countries that have death penalty are very fragile. The only line between chaos and peace is death penalty. "No it doesn't. You still get punished, and it's still not pleasant. No one likes losing their freedoms. For some, being locked in a tightly controlled prison for the rest of their lives is much worse than dying. If you're in a gang, you could face death regularly in gang wars, but being trapped until you die could be much much worse. 139 countries have abolished the death penalty, and they are not desolate wastelands, so it stands to reason that the death penalty is not the most effective method of keeping order. Pro writes "Some might say the cost of killing a criminal is not worth it. Well let me tell you one thing, is the cost of safety not worth it? Would you rather have a peaceful community and pay some extra taxes or would you rather pay less tax and live in a dangerous environment. "From a perspective of danger, I am not likely to be endangered by someone who is an inmate for life. Pro writes "One of the issues of death penalty is making a mistake in the trails. No system of justice can produce results which are 100% certain all the time. Mistakes will be made in any system which relies upon human testimony for proof. We should be vigilant to uncover and avoid such mistakes. Our system of justice rightfully demands a higher standard for death penalty cases. However, the risk of making a mistake with the extraordinary due process applied in death penalty cases is very small, and there is no credible evidence to show that any innocent persons have been executed at least since the death penalty was reactivated in 1976. "I think a single innocent person being executed would be enough to deter me from the death penalty. If the government has the death penalty at it's disposal for eliminating people, it could easily use that power tyrannically. Pro himself conceded that no justice system is perfect, so why add to it a feature that lets you eliminate someone permanently? You could make a mistake.
