I can't choose one of these, because my stance is more complicated than one of these choices. I believe that the death penalty should be used for only the most hanous criminals (i.e. Saddam Hussien, Nazi leaders, Timothy McVeigh) and only when we can prove beyond a shaddow of a doubt that they did it.
However, I am also appaled by our current prison system. The fact that these people get to kick back, watch cable T.V., get full wieght rooms, full library privilages and tons of other things that we are struggling to provide for our own families sickens me, and as long as those are the condidtions in many prisons, I will continue to support the death penalty as it stands.
Also, life in prison should mean life in prison and until that is changed I will continue to support the current usage of the death penalty.
