Topic > The death penalty should be allowed - 1601

The heaviest punishment for the condemned is the death penalty according to the law. It means atoning for a dead offense. Of course, not every criminal will be executed. The death penalty is reserved only for criminals. For example, a people who killed someone would not receive the death penalty. The death penalty is available for murders related to foreign trafficking or committed during a drug-related shooting. Sometimes, however, criminals also manage to avoid death because some countries (or even states) do not allow the death penalty. So, what decision would the condemned man make? This is a life sentence, meaning the prisoner would have to remain in prison until he dies. However, it is not a good idea to detain criminals. The death penalty should be allowed and should become more active because the life sentence is expensive, dangerous and insincere for the victim and family. The first reason why the death penalty should be allowed and become more active is that life imprisonment is expensive. According to “What is the Average Cost of Housing Inmates in Prison,” the average cost of housing an inmate in the United States was $31,286 per year in 2012. According to “Who, What, Where and Why,” in In the United States there are approximately 2.4 million people in prison. Therefore, the money America pays to keep prisoners in prison amounts to approximately $75,120,000,000 per year. However, on the other hand, carrying out the death penalty is also expensive. In the article “The Death Penalty Is Too Costly for States, Study Finds,” Warren Richey mentioned the cost of the death penalty. For example, in the article, he stated that “New York spent $170 million over nine years on capital cases before repealing the death penalty. No executions were carried out there. New Jersey has spent $253 million in 25 years without executions.” It also mentions... half of the paper... nce that leads people to die." However, what could prove that it is a blood family was also the DNA test. Lydia's lawyer suggested to take DNA data from Lydia's mother. Thus, it could prove not only that Lydia and her mother are a daughter and mother, but also that Lydia's 3 children and mother are grandchildren and grandmother. Therefore, Lydia succeeded to prove that she and her 3 children are blood relatives, even though their DNA could not directly prove it From Lydia's case, we can see that science such as DNA testing can prove the truth in a court of law, and it is enough be trials that would let people die. All in all, capital punishment should be allowed because compared to life imprisonment, it is better in terms of cost, safety and symbolic representation for the victims , the bear will be killed by people instead of being taken to the zoo.
