Death penalty has its pro and con but I think it has little effect on reducing crimes. Though it does help reducing cost spent on prison. What do you guys think? Is there alternatives to punishing crimes?

Alternative would be to release people as soon as possible. Sure sounds lenient but let's also remember that for first time offenders, prison is where they meet hardened criminals and the possibility is high that they'd remain in contact with those after being released. Many criminal gangs are composed of mostly people who met in prison.

Personally I would say that death penalty is a very easy and lenient punishment , especially for hardcore criminals such as serial killers and child rapists. Lethal injection or electric chair makes sure that these people doesn't suffer for more than 60 seconds. I would prefer these people to suffer for the rest of their lives, by doing hard labor in some remote penal colony.

Yeah, those are the sort of people we really like tortured first before being released from their pathetic existence.
