Nope, being in prison for the rest of your life is probably worse.

yeh coz people who commit a crime sometimes prefer bein dead than goin 2 jail for 30 years or watever!

I think it should, but only for serious offences like killing or whatever. Its unfair that somebody who has murdered someone gets like 15 years in jail, then get let out :? If they take a life they should get theirs taken away to!

Oh for god sake, how stupid can you get?!?!
Why do you think we dont have the death penalty?! Gees!
Say you are accused of killing somebody, and you are put in prison. If you are later then found to be innocent, you can be released!
But...
Say you are accused of killing somebody, and you are killed with the death penalty. If you are later then found to be innocent, what's going to happen? They cant bring you back from the dead!

So, people who our proven guilty could get it

No, because you can never be certain!
If you believe in the Death Penalty, you are just arrogant and heartless!

I believe we should have it only for extreme situations that are 100% proven eg Fred West

I think life imprisonment is more appropriate than the death penalty. It should be proper fundamental prison though and not all laid back and luxurious like some prisons are :x I mean, some prisons have televisions and gyms and pool tables! I think those luxuries should definately be taken out of prisons because otherwise it's pretty much like living at home isn't it and it becomes less of a punishment :roll: .
So yeh I think the best way to deal with serious crimes, i.e. murder and paedophilia, is life imprisonment. If you kill off the culprit with the death sentence it's kind of hypocritical because you'd be punishing a murderer with their own crime! It just doesn't make moral sense. Life in prison for someone like a paedophile would actually be really horrible anyway because they'd have to live with humiliation from the other prisoners (my cousin used to work as a prison officer and she said they had to keep the sex offenders separate from the regular prisoners coz they got beaten up otherwise!).

Yer i know people in prison all hate them. I think they should put them in a room for a hour with normal prisoners  :

is it then morally right to let a prisoner out after 15years and they then go and murder two more people or rape two more young children ruining their lives. Life prisonsonment isn't good either as they know that they have nothing to live so they suicide.

i think if they have killed someone and have 100% proof that they did ... then the death penalty should take its place

But you can never have 100% truth unless you saw it!
But as somebody said earlier (sorry, cant remember who) a life in prison would be worse than death in some levels. Death is just a short amount of physical pain (and emotional too of course) but a life in prison would drive you mad, cause a lot of emotional and mental pain! And at the same time, the suspects family would not be affected as much as they could be!

No it's not morally right to let someone out of jail after 15 years who has committed a serious crime, hence why I said life imprisonment. And by life I'm talking about actual life in prison, not the current life sentence which is indeed 15 years or whatever.

If a person in prison chooses to commit suicide then that's down to them - if they wish to take their own life then that's better in my opinion than them being removed by the state via the death sentence. Both produce the same outcome (death), but with suicide they are doing to themselves what they did to another person instead of the state punishing them with their own crime. Obviously suicide in prison shouldn't be encouraged, and should be prevented if possible I suppose.

I think some people would rather wear stained underwear than get the death sentence though lol. But yeh, even prisoners should get basic sanitation, so if some people really do have to wear stained underwear then I don't think that's right in the 21st century.
