Those same factors can lead to a miscarriage of justice with prison sentencing, and as you yourself pointed out, death is the 'easy way out'. I for one would much rather recieve a bullet in my head than spend half my life in a prison. That is just torture. I do not think that it is up to us to punish people with things like that. I think that the death penalty should be used to better society, not to get our vengance. "Vengance shall be mine sayeth the Lord"

When we try to punish people and there is a miscarriage of justice, that just makes it all the worse. I think we should have jails to hold people, but not prisons at all. They are inhumane.
