Death Penalty

[Thermal]

I don't think it's a great deterrent and it's certainly not the best of rehabilitative schemes so the death penalty only really serves as a method of retribution. Which achieves nothing.

But it is a handy little money-saver.

So if you realized committing a bad crime could get you the death penalty you wouldn't reconsider not killing? of course it acts as a great deterrent, slightly distorted views IMHO...

And yes it does achieve something, Probably reduce crime if applied enough.
