Do you think we should continue to use death penalty?

There have been no effective way which everyone agrees with to punish the criminals over the few decades. It has always been a question raised by the public as to whether death penalty is the right punishment to some criminals. I would disagree with the use of death penalty.

Most of the criminals who were given the death penalty is because they have committed murders or some severe crimes. If putting the murderer to death can solve everything then one is very, very wrong. Putting him to death will not bring the dead back alive. Neither will it compensate the pain the family members of the victim are experiencing. Therefore, it is very important to know that even though the criminals should pay for what he has done, in the end nothing will be gained. The dead is dead and he is dead forever.

Hence, on the other hand they should be given a chance to turn over a new leaf. Even though they are kept in the prison, they do can contribute to the society. For instance, they can pick up skills like hairdressing and officers can bring them to the old folks' home every month to help the old folks cut their hair. At the same time, they can accompany them and show care and concern for those pitiful old people. In this way, they are contributing to the society. Therefore, the death penalty should be abolished as the criminals should be given a chance to atone for their sins. Moreover, there are some criminals who really want to turn over a new leaf. They felt really bad and guilty over what they have done thus they want to atone for their wrongdoings. However, if they are going to be put to death, they will never have a chance to redeem themselves. Thus, death penalty should be abolished.

In some cases, there were even people who were wronged and put to death. It is very unfair to those innocent people as they were put to death for nothing. When the real murderer is found, they were already wrongly killed. They will be like the scapegoat for them. Therefore, we should stop the use of death penalty so as to stop any innocent people from being killed for nothing.
To many people death can be the only resolution to punish the criminals. However, it is inhuman and cruel to do so. Everyone should be given an equal chance to atone for his sins.
