What are the positive aspects of the death penalty?

Death Penalty Debate?

  • We are having a class debate over the death penalty. My team is representing the positive aspects of the death penalty and we are trying to convince the audience that the death penalty should not be abolished. I was assigned by the team leader to present why keeping the death penalty would result in less money for the tax payers. But everything I have seen says that the death penalty is a waste of the taxpayers money. So I need a new topic on why the death penalty should be made legal. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do and where I can find more information? Thanks! (and I would ask the team leader but I have no way of contacting him until tomorrow and that's when the paper is due :/ )

  • Answer:

    you could argue that by killing the person you are keeping them out of jail and therefore not waisting tax payers money as having people in jail is costly!

The death penalty works. Every criminal that is sentenced to death has been proven to not be able to commit any more crimes! The waste of tax payers money comes from the fact that th criminals on death row stay there for years before their sentence is carried out! If someone is convicted and sentenced to death they should only be alive for another 30 days. That gives them enough time to make any apologies and pray to whom ever if they are going to! With all of the science and technology that we have available today it is very difficult to convict and sentence the wrong person! I do not know why they say that is costs so much to carry out the death penalty, bullets are not that expensive and it only takes one to do the trick! Why should the criminals get a painless death? Did their victims not suffer? Let the punishment fit the crime! Who cares if they feel any pain?

It cost more to kill a person than for them to do life in prison. A good reason for keeping the death penalty is that it gives the victims family closure.

thats just bureucratical bullshit aimed to make the argument against it more powerful. You tell me how paying to feed an inmate 3x a day, clothe them, let them have hot showers and cable tv, educate them (which NC just shelled out $70,000 that its having to take from the public school system to teach inmates to become park rangers) and pay for appeals, hearings, and new trials for lifers, compares to spending a couple grand to stick a shiny clean needle into one of these scurges on the hardworking people, and not have to worry about them for the next 60 or 70 years. i garentee you that, if some of these wanna be crooks knew what was coming if they were in the slammer, they would think twice about commiting the crime in the first place. These punks aren't scared of the system. ****, free college, 3 meals a day, cable tv and free rent sounds like a pretty good deal

Death penalty is a deterrence in the commission of heinous crimes.
