2- Some people believe capital punishment must be banned while others 
think in order to protect individuals; criminals committing certain crimes 
must be executed. 
What is your opinion?
Use specific reasons to support your point of view.
The death penalty is the most severe form of punishment in the world today. 
Once the jury has proved a criminal guilty, they go to the second part of the 
trial – the punishment phase. Lethal injection is the most common form of 
death. Capital Punishment is a difficult issue and there are as many different 
opinions as there are people; nevertheless, I think that Capital Punishment 
should be made illegal.
Firstly it is possible to execute someone who is innocent. If this does happen it 
cannot be undone, whereas if they were put in jail they could be released and 
given compensation. Secondly I think that the death penalty is almost not a 
punishment because you are not around to be punished like if you were in jail 
with the poor living conditions and no freedom. 
Another reason I think that Capital Punishment should be made illegal is that 
life imprisonment without parole serves the same purposes as capital 
punishment at less cost. Right now, to execute a person in the U.S costs 
approximately three times the amount it would to have them serve a life 
sentence in prison. The money used to pay for the death row (including court 
appeals) comes out of the taxpayers’ wallets. If Capital Punishment were 
made illegal, this money could go to other projects in need of the funds like 
building new prisons. 
Nevertheless, I still believe that some criminals are just incorrigible and 
insane; they also cause a lot of problems in jail and do not seem to be 
lamenting the crime they have carried out against other individuals. Capital 
punishment in this situation may seem to be the only solution.
In conclusion, I hope we understand that it is all too easy to take a person’s 
life, however we must be very suspicious of the decision we make.
