be considered a proper economical and moral means
of punishment to deter those who might commit
capital offenses, or can it? In the past, capital
punishment ho...

Firing Squad Capital Punishment

The Death Penalty has been around since and before
the Americas were found. Even though it has been
in affect for hundreds of years, I do not feel it
is at all right. The methods are cruel and in some
cases, very painful for the inmate. most people
think the death penalty is a good way of justice
in the United States, and it is said to be a
humane way of execution, but from what I have
found, it is far from humane. Since 1976, 549
people have have been executed by lethal
injection, 149 by electr...

Form Of Punishment Deter Crime

Americas prisons have been called " graduate
schools for crime. " It stands to reason:

and privacy, expose them to constant threats of
violence, overcrowd their cell- block, deprive
them of meaningful work, and the result is an
embittered underclass more intent on getting even
with society than contributing to it. Prisons take
the nonviolent offender and make him live by
violence. They take the nonviolent offender and
make him a hardene...
