In principle, I think the death penalty is understandable as, while the main goal of prisons is for rehabilitating people and bringing them back to society, there are some people that are beyond rehabilitation, and hence should be put down. However, in practise (especially in the United States), it has occurred far too often where someone has been wrongfully put in death row. That on top of the recent supply problems with actual concoction used in executions make me against it.
