The death penalty is an appropriate penalty for certain crimes?
There are still a fair few countries who have the death penalty and use it on people who have committed murder, rape or terrorism.
However here in the UK, the death penalty was suspended in 1965 and completely abolished in 1969.
Do you think that some crimes are worth taking a persons life for, or do you believe it's wrong to end someones life no matter what they've done.
Prisons are designed for rehabilitation, not just to lock someone up until they've done their time. Prisoners must work, they do all the jobs required to keep the prison running, such as laundry, cooking, gardening etc.. However if someone is serving 2 life sentences for a crime and has no chance on being released early at all, would you argue that there is no point them living when all they are doing is surviving until death, or does everyone have a chance to live and a chance for rehabilitation, even if they'll never make it to the outside again.
What are your thoughts?
