Im for it in extreme cases for people that would otherwise get very very long life sentances, that are proven without a doubt via DNA evidence, ect, to be the culprit.
I fail to see why someone should live, as we spend tens of thousands of dollars per year for someone, that shouldn't be a burden to society. They first take, rape, destroy, steal, or do many other horrible things (sometimes all the above), only to goto jail, where we can spend even MILLIONS of dollars PER INMATE.
I fail to see how that's truely paying. I don't like the idea of killing someone, but the fact is, the death penalty works good in many ways: it attempts to deterr criminals with the penalty of death (which indeed does work in cases), and if it's enforced, saves us from millions, and billions of dollars a year trying to maintain overflowing prisons with criminal scum. I'm not saying kill 'em all, but there has to be some sort of deterrant to kill someone rather than getting 3 hots and a cot.
Or, instead, a good/better idea would be forced labor for life at something a criminal can do that'd make them give back to society for life. Instead of costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, if they could in turn make the government/society a return on their imprisonment.
Overall, I'm against "killing people back", but at the same time, it's sadly the only option in some cases. It's either imprison them at $40,000/yr for 20, to even 50 years (at a cost of $800,000-$2,000,000), or try to deterr it with death sentences.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
