Capital Punishment

Capital punishment is another ethical issue in which my opinion is in the grey area. I neither disagree nor agree with capital punishment. For some criminals they have commitment bad enough crimes they should be put to death. If I man kills over 100 people we should put him to death that way he has no way of escaping. For some people you can't risk that chance. But I also understand that some people are wrongfully convicted and shouldn't be put to death for a crime they did not commit. Back to the other side putting those bad enough to death would potentially save the system money and free up room in prisons for other criminals. This would eliminate the problem of overcrowded prisons. For some having life in prison is a much worse punishment for death. If you didn't know in a super max prison you have 23 1/2 hours of the day in a lit room by yourself. The other 1/2 hour you get to go outside and walk back and forth in a gated area. Being stuck in isolation for the majority of a day is a terrible punishment that a lot of criminals deserve. Of course I they're good they can be transferred down to a lower security prison and regain privileges. Capital punishment is also a difficult dilemma because you come to the argument an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Are we just as bad as they are if we kill them for killing someone? It comes down to a difficult decision. In the old days when hangings were public people would come from miles around to watch. So as a society do we want the death penalty to punish criminals or do we want it for our own enjoyment? As sick as that may seem it’s a question we must ask ourselves.
