In recent times many people have called for the continued use of the death penalty. I have always believed that if you take one person s life then you should forfeit your life.
Most politicians are for the death penalty.
Being tough on crime can win a political office. These days it is politically correct to be for the death penalty unless of course it is directed at you. Due to the appeal system it is often more expensive to put someone on death row than sentence them to life in prison however cost should not be an issue, punishment should be the issue. Quite often these days death row inmates are being released. Many are being found innocent of the crimes they have been found guilty of committing.
