How I Feel About the Death Penalty....

Let me start by saying that whatever pops in my head first, I'm going to type it. If my grade isn't good because of it, I'll know why.
Now for my actual blog: The death penalty is the worst invention people have yet to come up with, especially the electric chair (i think that's the death penalty?). The injection that the government uses to kill people is easier and less painful and cruel, but really, what is the point of killing people? Yes, they may have done horrible things like molesting children, killing a cop, or fighting dogs(HAHA), but do they really deserve to die? But then you have to put into perspective...what if someone raped or molested your child, wouldn't you want them to pay for what they have done? The first thing parents want to happen is for that horrible low-life to die or be killed. I think it's wrong for them to hurt these innocent children, but I think it's even more wrong for them to give a person the death penalty for their crime. With people like that, I think they should just be locked in a mental home until the end of time. Those people need a real psychological evaluation. As far as people that receive the death penalty for murdering other people or whatever, they don't need to die either. Jail, to me personally, is just a way for people to get away from their problems. When people go to jail, they are there to be punished for their crimes. But all they are doing is sleeping on thin mattresses in the freezing cold with no blankets and 2 changes of clothes and eat nasty oatmeal for breakfast (5:00am), peanut butter sandwiches for brunch (10:30 am), and mush for dinner at 6:00pm. That is not punishment because all the while, they are lifting weights, playing cards and sports, writing letters to their loved ones, buying snacks and fatty junk foods with their commissary money. There should be something else for people to do other than go to jail or receive the death penalty. Going to jail is too simple and receiving the death penalty is too harsh, no matter what the crime is.
