Journal 27 – Death Penalty

The Iraqi cruel dictator, Saddam Hussein, was sentenced to death penalty by hanging on last Sunday. Death penalty, which is often called a capital punishment, is the highest legal punishment in the civilization world. This kind of punishment has many supporters and opponents. I am against the death penalty.
Each person has only one life which cannot be repeated. Death penalty is sometimes applied unfairly. It is too expensive. In the USA, I don’t know how is in different countries, is cheaper to contain a prisoner for life that it is to kill one. It is inhuman, because I stress economic aspect, but it is true. The death penalty isn’t a crime deterrent. For these, only a few reasons above-mentioned, capital punishment should be abolished.
