Also, there are cases where people may have been innocent- if they are kept in jail, they have a chance to appeal which I think is fair.
Then as others have said, death in some respects is an easy escape. Many serial killers actually want the death penalty. Many spree killers actually commit suicide at the end of their attacks...
I think bringing back the death penalty would be a step backwards.

Yeah i can see where your coming from..
If they don't bring back the death penalty, at least make Prisons tougher so criminals will NOT want to go back there!
