DEATH PENALTY

 

Death penalty is a Capital punishment, is a government-sanctioned practice in which a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime.

It can be imposed for treason, espionage, murder, large-scale drug trafficking, or attempted murder of a witness, juror, or court officer in certain cases.

There is no evidence that the death penalty descreases crime more effectively than being in prision. Actually, evidence says the opposite. “Since abolishing the death penalty in 1976, Canada's murder rate has steadily declined and as of 2016 was at its lowest since 1966.”

Most nations have already abolished death penalty.

These are some countries that had death penalty in 2018:

Afghanistan, China, Egypt, Equatorial, Nigeria, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Chad, Belarus, and more.

Most executions in the world take place in Asia. China is the world´s most active death penalty country.

The methods can be with drugs or a sedative or anesthetic.

Maybe they deserved the death penalty, but people will not learn, in jail they will learn a better lesson, that human life matters.

Comfort foods that were popular among the criminals: 24 percent asked for hamburger and 22 percent asked for steak.

Sometimes the jury decides the punishment, and if it is death penalty because in some states the judge can´t decide the punishment. 

Death row inmates are allowed to have visits three times per week, but with no contact, each visit is of at least one hour.

Death penalty is legal in 28 states of United States of America. Since 1976 until 2020 the states have executed 1,516 people.

The death penalty violates the most fundamental human right that is the right to life.  Mistakes cannot be unmade, so if you are innocent in jail, you can go out, but in a death penalty, you can´t undo it.
