Death penalty is a cave man punishment. Nothing for the civilized world, it's like an eye for an eye. Plus, it's a easy way out for some convicts. For some is it a relief to get executed instead of being locked in for several years and suffer. You don't suffer when you die. And no, they shouldn't be tortured. The suffering I mean is the lack of freedom and hopefully the thoughts of what they've done.
Otherwise is the problem with those get the death penalty even thought they're innocent. Some have already discussed it here and I agree with that it is a problem. It's huge reason why there shoouldnt be a death penalty. There are in fact many reasons why not having death penalty. I could add one that says that you should not sink to the same level as those who have made a horrible crime.
I'm happy to live in a civlized country without the death penalty. Those who still have it and support it are not civlized. Also in my country do we also have 15-20 years for those who have commited murder. But! And it's a huge but. These low sentences is just for those who have killed someone or murdered someone under certain circumstances. They who have commited horrible crimes such as rape of chilren, murdering children and such get much longer punishment of course. But gladly is those cases very very rare.
Why the sentences is 15+ year for those who have commited "normal" murder or other bigger crimes. Maybe armed robbery,which is around 10 years and such. Is because we believe people can change and have programs of doing so. It's also shown, supported by science, that humans change in personality and who they are every 10 years. That's why often people get quite low sentences and specially when they are young around the ages of 18 up to 23-25. You change more who you are from 18-28 then 28-38.
