I think death penalty isn't useful just by itself. You kill criminals, but other criminals will be born, so we do a research about the causes of criminality, for example, poverty. Then, get ways to reduce the causes, so less people will become criminals. It's cutting the roots of all.
Now, we all know this won't be 100% useful, there will always be criminals. And this is where death penalty takes place. You don't have to search a lot to realize that killing the guys is better in a lot of ways. One of them is economy. Jails are maintained from taxes, and this taxes are OUR money. In other words, we are feeding these fellas who don't deserve it.
It's useful too as a way of giving fear to the criminals. They will think twice doing a crime because it won't be just their freedom, but their lives.
This might be some offensive comparison, forgive me if someone fells insulted, but having jails is like if you have a house (a country), and you have rats there. You get to catch the rats and put them in a box, you feed them, but they are not useful for anything, not even for pets.
