i think we should have the death penalty because it will help with the overcrowding in prisons by eliminating serial killer,rapists,pedophiles,murderers etc. Also as i think they shouldn't get another chance as they have either taken an innocent life or traumatized someone for the rest of their life so why give them the luxury of 'reforming' or having somewhat of a decent life when they have ruined an innocent family's. Moreover if you look at it from the religious side of it the old testament says 'a tooth for a tooth' and 'an eye for an eye'. i might not be religious but this clearly indicates that if some kills they should pay for with their life as they have took someones freedom. so if I'm not mistaken taken someones freedom is far from legal therefore why shouldn't they repay it with their own life.
