Capital Punishment Capital Punishment The United States is one of the few countries left in the world to practice the savage and immoral punishment of death. Retentionists argue that the consequence of death prevents persons from committing the heinous crime of murder. It is proven that the death penalty does not deter persons from committing murder, nor does it serve as an example of the consequences of capital crimes to society. Furthermore, it is impossible to guarantee that the criminal justice system will not discriminate, or execute the innocent. And above all, the methods of execution are horrifying and barbaric, as well as the devaluing of a human life. We must realize that the life of a murderer is worth as much as the life of the victim. Although it is hard for some to see through the irrationality of the vengeance raging in so many of us, like it is in the supporters of capital punishment. An indecent justice, one that takes human lives based on ideals of vengeance and violence, is an immoral system that is unacceptable.
