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?
Death penalty decrease the number of criminals in the world so it's still helpful. I would suggest that people who will commit heinous crimes and drugs should have an isolated prisoned where they can't talk to anyone and just alone. It would traumatized that they won't want to do any crime ever again.
How about instead of death penalty, we make use of these people? Make them do civil works? Like community service or give them jobs that could serve the public. But they must be closely monitored at all times!!! Its like using our resources and not having to spend much on allowance. Like they do the work but they dont get anything in return. Just like Sithara said.
