This arguement has been done to death(pardon the pun). I don't believe the death penalty should be brought back, state sponsored murder should never be allowed. I believe life should mean life, and prison should not be a cushy alternative to career criminals. After the last discussion on this when it was said that life in prison isn't as easy as its people say it is, there was a prisoner released from a local prison near me, who within 2 hours of being released had re-offended by stealing a car and assaulting the owner to get back in...

The death penalty is not the answer, harsher sentences whilst maintaining human rights are
