One reason why some are in favour of the death penalty is because they erroneously believe that by denying the perpetrator their life, they are somehow punishing them. But the absolute worst thing you can do to someone is to put them in permanent solitary confinement. That is far more damaging than a quick death. Once it has occurred then that individual suffers no more. So how this can be viewed as punishment is beyond me, when they could be languishing in a tiny cell for the rest of their life. If I had to choose between the two, I know which I would opt for. Though I would rather the guillotine than lethal injection. One second to die is much better than twenty five minutes.
