Pros of The Death Penalty

1. The death penalty gives closure to the victim's families who have suffered so much

2. Prisoner parole or escapes can give criminals another chance to kill.

3. It contributes to the problem of overpopulation in the prison system.

4. It gives prosecutors another bargaining chip in the plea bargain process, which is essential in cutting costs in an overcrowded court system.

Cons of The Death Penalty

1. Financial costs to taxpayers of capital punishment is several times that of keeping someone in prison for life.

2. It is barbaric and violates the "cruel and unusual" clause in the Bill of Rights

3. It sends the wrong message: why kill people who kill people to show killing is wrong.

4. The prisoner's family must suffer from seeing their loved one put to death by the state, as well as going through the emotionally-draining appeals process.
