Is death row necessary? No, i'm not talking about the record label, i'm talking about a person in a prison where they eventually will be killed. These people did something so terrible that they had to die, but does anyone question the morality of killing someone because of a crime they committed. Taking someones life for the purpose of what? Getting them off the street? Proving a point?
A lot of people will say something like “You have to put yourself in the position of those families that have suffered” blah blah blah. Thats why they invented a prison, to take these people off the street and put them behind bars. Does anyone question the efficiency of the death penalty as a whole and all the mistakes that have been going on with the whole process. If you look at the graph you can see the inefficiency of the death penalty and longer sentences is actually 15x more efficient.
In the last 30 or so years there have been 130 cases of people who have been released from death row, Just imagine all the people that have died for nothing.
i mean honestly, does life sentence not work for these people? if the initial plan is to take these people off the streets to make them safer while giving families the satisfaction of justice then lock them up and make them suffer. Let them think about their situation and why they are responsible for it for the rest of their lives instead of doing them a favor. It just doesn’t work.
Then there are cases like Tookie Williams, (if you dont know who he is, google him), where he does something wrong but tries to turn his life around and writes a book telling people his story and how they shouldnt go down that path. Instead of letting him try to keep making a difference, they kill him.
So is Death Row necessary? No, it's inhumane and there are other solutions that are more efficient and effective in making society a better place to live.
