Is it more just for criminals to die or to live?

No killing is wrong. Why kill? Just keep them in jail for the rest of their lives. What if they where framed? And then we had the evidence to save them? Well we wouldn't be able to if the death penalty was already pushed on to them.

It makes no sense to kill some one because they killed someone. Justice is doing what's right, not whatever the victim would want. Killing is wrong and can't be justified.

No one has the right to kill another human being outside of self-defence. This includes the execution of prisoners by the state.

Yes because is like fix an injustice with another injustice

THe purpose of a prison is to provide a place to isolate individuals that are potential risk to society. The second reason is put them in confined spaces known as cells to keep each individual separate. Cells serve to starve all the life out of the criminal by providing no escape for their thoughts, and therefore have all the time in the world to reflect on what they have done. This enironments provides the best place for them to face their crimes and work through the realisations of it all. If criminals were to pay the ultimate price of death for crimes committed this is an escape for what they have done. But for criminals to pay justice to what they have done they need to be given no freedom through death but instead sit in the cells and ponder over their very existence. Thus allowing for change in mind of the criminals so that can be more compassionate, understanding and be people that are better for the society.

It really depends on the criminal. What kind? A shoplifter? Or a serial killer and rapist? Huge difference.

Death is bad

Why take chances with criminals, if they die, they cannot commit crimes again! If they are innocent, the court should prove it. Fire bullets soon after being found guilty so we can all save taxpayers money.
