The death penalty makes no sense.

[Ravenshire]

The death penalty is nothing more than state sanctioned revenge killing. It's completely ineffective as a deterrent, more costly than life without parole and causes severe issues for the executioners. It's a lose-lose for everyone but the inmate who simply goes to sleep, never having to fear the depredations of prison after that. The only way you can justify the death penalty as a punishment is to prove hell actually exists and the condemned will actually wind up there.

Revenge isn't justice no matter the crime.and death is a release, especially considering the state of our prison system.
