Death penalty is the best

Word Count: 754

I believe that the death penalty is the best and fairest punishment for
people
who have taken other people's lives. Here are some interesting facts about
the death
penalty. Did you know that 70% of all Americans support the death penalty?
Murder rates have also been down since the death penalty was reinforced.
And
rehab techniques are so underdeveloped that no one is ever certain that a
murderer
can be rehabilitated (supporting capital).
First of all, if someone has taken someone else's life, in most cases their
life
should be taken also.  If a person is so imcompassionate for human beings
and just
doesn't care what happens to anyone; if they are sick enough to take the
life of
someone else, their life should be taken also.
Second of all, would you rather pay for someone to be in prison for life in
an
environment that is most likely better than where they were if they weren't
there?
You can argue that capital punishment costs more tax dollars. However, would
you
rather pay for someone who has brutally taken the life of someone else to
die than
have them stay in a prison that is nicer than where they would be on the
street if they
weren't in prison?  For example, Consider crime as a career alternative.  It
is, you
know. Granted it's not a viable alternative for me or you. The consequences
of being
caught would be far too great -- we have too much to lose. But consider, of
all the
things we're not willing to risk sacrificing, there are lots and lots of
people who don't
have those things. For someone in that position, consider the advantages:
No education requirements.
No previous experience needed.
No startup capital required in most cases, and minimal capital required in
any
case.
Flexible work hours.
Be your own boss.
Medical and retirement plans provided free by the government.
Low risk.
Low risk? Well, yes. The odds of being apprehended at all are very low, and
even if
you are arrested you'll get free legal assistance (Savage, Leo).   And plus,
prisons are
becoming more and more crowded. The government's solution to overcrowded
prisons is to spend billions of tax dollars to make more of them.  This is a
lot more
than it is going to cost the government to execute someone (Stern, Eric).
Next, since most inmates receive parole when they have life in prison...
