Death Penalty

I think the U.S. government should stop the death penalty because its inhumane, unconstitutional and it really dosen't punish the person the way you want. Think about it when people do evil things and get the death penalty they get the punishment once and they never have to go through anything anymore, but if you put them in jail for life they get raped, jumped, wounded (sometimes severly wounded) no good food, and mistreatment. Being in jail is a living hell. Just imagine you have the option death penalty or jail for life......but before you pick jail realize that death penalty is a one time punishment and you never have to go through anything anymore. So think about it like this death penalty might be the revenge you want, but in reality its not because you punish them once. Criminals want the death penalty because they think about it like this and its an easy way out even though it ends in death. Most normal people say " I would rather go to jail because I don't want to die" they understand from a criminals point of view. Would you want to live knowing you did an evil crime like kill somone? Would you want to live in a world where everyone hates you and people are plotting to get you? Thats why im against the death penalty because its criminals easy way out.....its a get away. Its not fair when criminals get there way. They need to be punished and put in jail. So end the death penalty and lock people up so they can get the punishment they deserve and dont want. The United States of America is suppose to be diferent the country that is fair and free.......the United States is suppose to be the role model of the the world.....the last superpower. Do you honestly think our government is setting an example by killing people? When we do this we are not standing out anymore were being like every other country. When there is the death penalty it embraces revenge and thats wrong. How does this great country of america look when it committs the act of revenge on its own people? So if someone murdered someone else and you put them in jail for life that would be the right thing to do, but kill them would make things worse because it would embrace revenge and the murders rates raise...the reason why i say this is because thats gives people the reason to kill someone else because they killed another person just because the government did it. The government doesn't understand that these killers have familys to and even though they do evil things it hurts a family more than the person when they get killed. If you put that person in jail and dont kill the murderer than things are even, that convict suffers in jail and the family get to see the convict and know he/she is still alive,both familys can now go about there business.Just imagine you have a son and he accidently killed someone and was convicted of murder and sentenced to death......would you want him to be killed or put in jail? What if thats your only son? Even though he did an evil and wrong thing would you want him to pay the price in jail or die? This is the way most people think when they have children that are put on the death row. People who have children that are on the death row go through more than the victims family because they have to live knnowing there child is either going to be killed or put in jail for life.they have to live knowing that all that work they put in trying to raise a good and possibly important person has now went to waste because there childs now a loser and muderer and they have to live with that. there teaching has now went down the drain and they failed a life.everyone hates there child and they know it......Do you honestly think they want this?
