1)Should the death penalty be banned as a form of punishment? http://www.balancedpolitics.org/death_penalty.htm PROS-- 1)financial costs to tax payers of capital punishment is several times that of keeping someone in prison for life 2)it sends the wrong message: why kill people who kill people to show killing is wrong CONS-- 1) the death penalty gives closure to the victims of families who suffered so much 2)prisoner parol or escapes can give criminals another chance to kill if let free of the death penalty

2)Benefits why the death penalty is good for prisons http://citizen10.hubpages.com/hub/Arguments-against-the-death-penalty the death penalty is far cheaper than keeping someone in prison for a lifetime: the people who have committed the crime should have to pay for their crimes not us, we shouldn't have to pay taxes to keep a convict in prison.

3) collage papers on why it is wrong and right http://rintintin.colorado.edu/~vancecd/phil1200/Pojman.pdf Who so sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed. (Genesis 9: 6) The retributivist holds three propositions: 1) that all the guilty deserve to be punished 2) that ONLY the guilty deserve to be punished 3) that the guilty deserve to be punished in proportion to the severity of their crime. Thomas Jefferson supported such a system of proportionality of punishment to crime.

http://www.mapsofworld.com/poll/should-death-penalty-be-abolished-facts-infographic-text.html According to Amnesty International, though death penalty has been traditionally used in almost every country of the world as a form of punishment in the last few decades the trend has been towards abolishing it. As of September 2012, Of the 195 independent states that are UN members or are UN observer states, 100 countries that have abolished it, 7 countries retain it for crimes committed in exceptional circumstances, 48 countries permit its use but in practice have not used it for at least a decade, and 40 countries retain the death penalty in law and practice it. According to reports from Amnesty International, in 2011 the world's four leading countries that practiced capital punishment were Asian nations – China, Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan.

Death Penalty Death penalty is very touchy subject for the justice system; the percent of people who support the death penalty is only 65%. Kentucky as of 2012 allows the death penalty as an option. As of 2012 19 states do not accept the death penalty as an option. The death penalty should be an option for certain crimes that have been committed as of killing someone, or for hurting a minor. Most states have executed people and found out they were innocent. I believe that the death penalty should be accepted by certain crimes committed as if someone had killed someone and they get out of jails the family may be scared for there lives, or if you have hurt a child, it give closers to victims families and prisoner parole or escapes can give criminals anther chance to kill or torture the family. The death penalty is beneficial because it stops crimes from being committed again by the same person. The death penalty is a touchy subject because it is right in many ways but it can also be very wrong in many ways. It is right because it gives closure to the family who lost there loved one to the crime but it is wrong because it gives another family the pain of losing a loved one. There are many people against the death penalty i can see why they are against it but I also believe that it is a good option for certain crimes that have been committed. Crimes that involve children and killing should be sentenced to the death penalty. Some may say that the death penalty is a "cruel and unusual punishment" and that it "demeans the value of human life" that is right if the person who is being sentenced to the death penalty is being sentenced because they robbed someone or because they where wrongly accused. We pay millions of dollars for the death penalty system, in 1995 the trials for three washington county murders cases cost more than $1.5 million, in 2000 the Oregon Department of Administrative Services stated that the Oregon Judicial Department alone would save $2.3 million annually is the death penalty were eliminated. It is estimated that total prosecution and defense costs to the state and counties equal $9million per year. The earliest death penalty was in 1608. In 1775 all 13 american colonies use capital punishment during the american revolution. In 1787 the US Constitution allows for capital punishment. 1790 the first person is executed under the US federal death penalty. 1846 Michigan becomes the first US state to abolish capital punishment. 1890 the first electrocution is performed in the US. Execution has been around for many years and people have always tried to fight against it but it stops future murders from happening and protects the family who convicted the criminal. I believe that the death penalty should be accepted by certain crimes committed as if someone had killed someone and they get out of jails the family may be scared for there lives, or if you have hurt a child, it give closers to victims families and prisoner parole or escapes can give criminals anther chance to kill or torture the family.
