Debate: Death penalty or life in prison?
Side: Life in jail

I'm a christian. The bible specifically says "thou shall not kill."Also, several people across the country have been found to be not guilty after they were sentenced to death. My home town, Ada, Oklahoma, has an entire book written about events that happened here (John Grisham, the Innocent Man).Also, minorities are sentenced to death way more than whites and non-minorities. Too much racism in this country to have the death penalty. BTW, I'm white.

You couldnt be more correct. As someone who works directly with this topic, I can tell you that it is biased. It goes as deep as how grand juries are selected (who subsequently sign off on an indictment to charge someone with capital murder). Proportionality is supposed to be representative of the population (age, race, etc.). Lets just say we have found numerous courts that have not followed the law to the T. That to me, is a scary thought. Keeping in mind that not every district is biased. Some have and do in fact follow the guidelines as they are written.

Debate: Death penalty or life in prison?
Side: Life in jail

people make mistakes... ALL THE TIME! but being judged and killed... shouldn't be an option. it should not be legal. say a father had a 7 year old girl just for says and a man raped and murdered his little girl... then i would understand the father for wanting him to die and i would to but once he is caught then he can spend his life in prison. because if he dies and believes in god then he will still go to heaven with riches. so i don't believe that people who have problems with killing or having any issues that have to do with the death penalty should just be kept in prison for life! not 30 years life, that what they call life in prison. am i correct? i know this is long but i feel strong about this debate... :)

better is "life in jail" death would end all and the criminal wouldn't realize his mistakebut spending whole life in jail would be a better punishmentbeing locked for lifetime would make him realize his mistake

For sheer purposes of punishing a criminal, I don't support the death penalty. Wouldn't a life in prison be far worse than a simple death by monitored means? Or, better yet, put criminals to work doing public service projects!
Debate: Death penalty or life in prison?
Side: Life in jail

We should abolish the death penalty. We have so much that we could put these criminals to work doing. They may be hate filled rapists and murderers, but many of them were simply wayward people. They still have families, and they still have contributions to be made to society. Let them try to fill their chasm sized debt to society, by giving them a bucket.Plus, if even one wrongly accused person is put to death, that is too many. I believe in order to handed the death penalty you would have to be caught on tape, no doubts about it, red frickin' handed. Otherwise you could be putting away an innocent person.Have you ever looked into what lethal injection really means? If not administered properly, the condemned could be paralyzed but not numb to pain. This would enable them to feel which has been described as your entire body of veins igniting into fire.It's something to think about.

life in prison for sure..why let them escape so easily by giving them death? isnt it more awful for them to rot in prison living in remorse rather than just dying? besides, its agaisnt the law for citizens to kill people but ok for the government to do it?? thats hypocrisy to the higest level..

to those who quoted the bible.. take this into conssideration:Exodus 31:15, "You may work for six days, but the seventh day is a day of worship, a day when you don't work. It is holy to the LORD. Whoever works on that day must be put to death." Leviticus 11:7 "and the pig, for though it divides the hoof, thus making a split hoof, it does not chew cud, it is unclean to you."Does that mean i have to be sentenced to death for working on sunday?? am i a sinner for eating pork??its was written for those times not the 21st century.. i'm not saying dont listen to what the bible says.. i'm just saying, the bible cant always be taken literally (the exception is the ten commandments).. an eye for an eye doesnt work anymore.. how are we to become civilized if we stick to primitive laws??

Side: Life in jail

The death penalty is a moral issue I’ve struggled to come to terms with personally. Mahatma Gandhi once said One must be slow to form convictions, but once formed, they must be defended against the heaviest odds. My first thought was that if we are going to have a death penalty, then people who commit really serious crimes in a really serious way deserve it. But people who act in the heat of a moment, who don’t predetermine to take lives or do harm, they are at least excused from the death penalty for not having put rational thought into the matter. For example, a man who walks in on his wife cheating, pulls out a gun and immediately shoots them both before stopping to breathe or think is a man who was ruled by passion. After a little more consideration, I began to think that those who set out to take someone’s life for nothing more than fun are just insane. Which leads to the question, should mentally insane people who are dangerous be punished by death? That one’s really iffy for me, but in the end my bleeding heart says no. But there are other reasons to take a life. Petty things, such as greed, jealousy, lust, etc. Should we punish rational people who kill by killing them? This one is really tough, because those are incredibly stupid things to take a life over. And while the death penalty may not be a successful deterrent, is it a worthy punishment? Yes. Absolutely. These are people who have less respect for another human being’s life than they do for their own pride, self-interest, and whathaveyou. Exactly the sort of person that we might want put to death by the justice system. But then, the justice system is not perfect. And although we have a standard of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, there’s still room for error. Is it ever going to be right to kill one innocent person, in the name of punishing the others who deserve it? No. Not when we have other means of punishing those who are not entitled to their freedom. Although it is costly keeping someone in prison for their lifetime, this isn’t a valid reason to excuse errors in the system. “It’s cheaper” will never qualify as a reason to risk putting innocent people to death.

I believe that it is in no way justified to kill someone, as a punishment for killing someone else. It is not going to remunerate nor console the victim's families for their loss. The death penalty is completely inhumane.

I vote life in jail because if we kill the convicts they pay for what they did but it be more of a punishment to have them in a small cell
Debate: Death penalty or life in prison?
Side: Life in jail

To live life in a cell is much more punishment than to sever their life quickly and nearly painlessly.I also cast my vote to life as nothing is 100%, sending an innocent man to death has no apology that makes the action justifiable.

Side: Life in jail

Isnt it a little too merciless to take away one's life because of what he/she did something wrong on the impulse of a moment?(I believe majority of crimes are from moment's mistake,cuz no human is perfect.)Cant we give them another chance too be good? Death penalty is similar to "an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth"which is too inhuman. We wouldnt want to have what's wrong from a past to reappear. Death penalty is just a superficial measure of punishing the wrongs.

Many Life Sentence prisoner are first offenders and contrary to general belief are the best behaved while in prison. I agree with you.
Debate: Death penalty or life in prison?
Side: Life in jail

As a former Manager of Life Sentence prisoners in HMP UK. I have personally seen 3 cases when the prisoner has been found to be totally innocent after some years in prison. i have also seen many Life sentence Prisoners work very hard to better themselves and leave prison to serve in the community. Money has nothing to do with it as far as I am concerned. Also, if you can afford the best lawyers you have a better chance of not being convicted.
Debate: Death penalty or life in prison?
Side: Life in jail

I know this has already been said before, but an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Just because a person takes the life of another doesn't mean an innocent person needs to be paid to kill him or her. Plus, there is no way to be sure if this person is actually guilty. Should the justice system really take such a risk as to put an innocent man or woman to death? The answer is no.
Debate: Death penalty or life in prison?
Side: Life in jail

Well, indeed one of the benefits of death penalty is that there will be less crimes especially murders and massacres, but there are always many things and ideas to get away with it. There are a lot of means of escape after committing a crime. Of course, with our technology, even drops of liquid and a pinch of salt will do in order for a person to do a crime and get away with it. We cannot give a "final judgment" to a person who committed a crime. Each person has their own mind and perspective of what life is, and what those people need is a point or position in which they can stand there and see another perspective or the right/correct meaning/purpose of life. If we are going to have death penalty,which is announced 1 to 10 days before it will be done, how can they realize and see that new perspective? That is why they are kept in a place where all they should problem is how to make themselves fixed and not how to get out of there; and also, it is the reason why they are fed, given some good indoor jobs, given a lot of freebies. They were there to solve their own problems so that they can be pardoned by their conscience (or maybe by the judges or government) and be free, maybe not with the place they physically live in but from where their spirit is jailed.

I FEEL THE DP AND LIFE IN JAIL CAN BOTH WORK IF THE PEOPLE ARE TRULY GUILTY. THE JUSTICE SYSTEM HAS KILLED SO MANY BASED ON NOTHING. ALSO HAVE MANY IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF THERE LIVES. BUT THEN AGAIN THERE ARE MANY CHILDREN 15, 16 YEAR OLDS SPENDING LIFE IN JAIL FOR MURDER BECAUSE THERE PARENTS WERE NOT THERE FOR THEM SO IT WAS UP TO THEM TO MAKE IT. SOMETIMES THE DP AND LIFE PLEA CAN BE TO MUCH. WE ALL DESERVE ANOTHER CHANCE IN LIFE. BUT I SAY FORGIVE BUT DONT FORGET.YOU DO IT AGAIN THATS YOUR ASS....THTS JUS ME...

I think instead of a death penalty, they should just stay in prison until they die because putting someone to death is just harsh, No matter who it is. They should at least take a while and think about it in prison.

I totally go for the Death penalty. Why let them continue living? They have no concern for human life, so why should we show concern for them? Kill them off.

It's my view that, if someone murders someone else, they have given up their human rights, including the one to stay alive themselves. The world would be much better off without them living.

I dont think staying in prison for life is more punishment. They feel like they got away with murder if you dont execute them. Their victim is dead and they are still alive living each and every day with three meals per day, a place to sleep and plenty of other people to live with.

life in jail is better than death penalty...at least they would get the chance to suffer longer...maybe that would give them a sense of what they did...or aware them of how life works. it may be enough punishment for them.

I pray that He will open your eyes that have been blinded by lies, God bless you. Plus you sound more like a follower of satan than anything else. saying that you are Israel, when you are a gentile just like I am. God has a set number of Israelites set aside who still love Him and they will be revealed in due time. For now we must be ready at every moment for Jesus's return, when we will meet Him in the skies. We are in the end times and we need to be ready.

Last time im saying this, HE created HIS KINGDOM FOR ALL WHO ARE SAVED, NOT JUST THE JEWS. You really need to stop insulting us Christians, because all the swear words you use are going to bite you in the near term. Jesus asks us not to swear and to have clean words come out of our mouths. What you are saying about Christians aka followers of Jesus Christ is that we need to stop following Jesus and only follow the Father. My answer to that is NO! I will not repent of following Jesus Christ! He is the Savior of the world and not just the Israelites. Of course you dont associate with us Christians because you think we are dammed for hell, the truth is that you are mistaken and may the Lord deal with you accordingly, I dont believe for one second that you are a Jew. Your lies will stop right now in Jesus Name! In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit i mute your lying tongue forever!

You have to understand. I am the real Hebrew so I expect to see Scripture when you want to argue a topic. I'm not a Christian where you just present a couple of verses and talk for an hour and a half about non-sense that has nothing to do with the Scripture. We real Hebrews want to see Scripture, we don't care about how you feel and what you think the Bible says. Support your evidence with the Bible, not your word!

I want proof that you are Hebrew, from what tribe of Israel are you from? Dont even dare lie to me, because i will know if you are. Im ready to give you the finale, cuz you are not Hebrew. You are gentile like me and you know it! So i say this last warning, have fun dealing with Antichrist while I am meeting my Savior face to face.

First of all, i realize why people warned me about you, second of all God has the final say where im going and not you. Third of all, i pity you so much because you have been taught that Jesus Christ only loves certain people, when the fact of the matter is HE loves everyone. You are horrible at witnessing to others, because telling them they are going to hell is not going to get them to even think about Jesus Christ, I personally would not even talk to a person such as you because you just hate other people so you make it seem that God hates the same people as you. You think you can just force God to do your bidding, well i believe God is about to teach you a few lessons buddy. He is going to turn your world upside down and keep it like that for His timing. Im not going to say when He will do this because i dont even know, but from what the Holy Spirit is telling me, its coming soon. The Lord is sick and tired of you lying to people that He hates them, and since you did not get His message that i sent you, in Scripture last night well then, you will see what He does. Also if you dont believe me, thats fine with me but i have warned you for the last time. He is going to turn your world and your debates upside down. Im just saying what i hear from the Holy Spirit, so have a nice day and God Bless you. :D
