Life In Prison Mentally Retarded
697 words
I agree with the law that people who commit crimes
need to be punished for their wrong doings.
However, I do not agree with the way that the law
thinks that problem should be handled through the
death penalty. The bad part about the death
penalty is that innocent people are executed, the
mentally retarded are executed, and the death
penalty is costly. As long as the death penalty is
maintained, the risk of executing the innocent can
never be eliminated. People who are found guilty
and sentenced ...

barbaric alternative for punishing a criminal.
Where does the hostility and ignorance stop once
it begins? Murder is unaccepted by society, yet
people seem to pacify themselves by killing
criminals. Is that not considered to be murder?
Sentencing a criminal to death does not solve the
questions and problems that are left behind.

The roles and norms of the participants barely
varied at the start of the experiment. As time
went on, everyone started falling into his roles.
Thats when things started changing. For instance
the role of the guard was to maintain order in the
facility by means of physical or mental
punishment. The further they went into the
experiment the further they fell into their roles.

both trials have taken place in and those who were
