pros about capital punishment

Pros - Death Penalty

Many people would reject the concept of killing another being. It is unfair to say that even though a person kills many people, they are not facing the punishments. As Steven D. Steward said, “...life is sacred. It cheapens the life of an innocent murder victim to say that society has no right to keep the murderer from ever killing again.” This is very true. The fact that a person ends other people’s lives cheapens the killer’s life. They do not deserve to live in a jail and have the slightest chance of escape or killing again. The only way to enforce the fact that the murderer has no more chance to harm anyone is to do what they did to their victims. It is only fair to say that murderers deserve to die because they had killed a person who’s life could have been enjoyed.
Furthermore, in order to put someone in jail, it costs a lot more money than simply killing them. Our current economy is horrible and a lot of money that can be going to education is being put into prisons where criminals are kept and fed. The unbalanced amount of money being poured into criminals is unfair to children who are not receiving proper education. Instead of puttin someone in jail for the rest of thier life which cost a fortune, you can give the death penalty which would cost less . This is something that people have to pay for with taxes ,which noone wants to do anymore.
This also causes the communtiy to feel safe. Knowing that the person who commited the crime is out of sight out of mind, and has no way to come back. This lets people relax and not worry day in and day out if and or when this deadly or harmful person will escape.
