Around the world, everyday one person dies who are being sentenced to capital punishment. Nowadays, in many foreign countries still utilize capital punishment on their the most brutal criminalists. Actually, there two side of using capital punishment such as advantages and disadvantage.
On the one hand, capital punishment is one of the most useful case for society. For instance, among the world, we can seek a lot of prisons that belonged to capital punishment. If a man tries to be a murder by killing inhabitant, government will able to use these prisons confine or convict to capital punishment. As a result, other people who are willing to get revenge from someone will hesitate to kill someone or to steal something. Secondly, financial benefits for the government. Maintaining prisoners for life sentences can be very expansive for governments. It includes the cost of housing, food, healthcare, security, and other services – all for many decades. For example, according to the 2012 study from California, keeping a prisoner on death row is about $90,000 cheaper per year then keeping them in prison for life without parole.
On the other hand, capital punishment has also drawbacks such as irreversible mistakes.
Sometimes courts make wrong decisions due to human error, false evidence, or biased trials. If an innocent person is executed, the mistake cannot be undone. For example, there have been cases in the USA where people were proven innocent after being executed or after spending decades on death row. As a result, such cases damage public trust in the justice system and highlight the risk of punishing innocent individuals. Secondly, psychological impact on all involved. Judges, jurors, prison staff, and executioners can suffer emotional trauma from being involved in executions. For instance, some former executioners have publicly spoken about long-term guilt and mental health issues after participating in executions. As a result, this can lead to mental health problems and make it harder to recruit fair legal professionals.
In conclusion, while capital punishment may provide certain benefits, its irreversible consequences, and risk of wrongful execution significantly outweigh its advantages.
