Although it doesn’t happen in our country, a social issue that worries me is the death penalty. This is a measure that leads to denying a person’s right to live very often wrongfully. The judiciary system is carried out by men who are not infallible. Many people have been found guilty of crimes they haven’t committed. That is why I personally do not believe in such a drastic measure. Another reason is because it doesn’t give the accused the opportunity to make up for his crime and to rehabilitate. There are cases where the death penalty is necessary because the person might be a threat to the civilization and there is no other solution, but other times it might be a way to commit a big mistake killing someone that is not guilty.
What will happen if they decide to kill a prisoner and then, when he is already death, they find the evidence of the innocence of that person? Are they going to give him back his life? Of course not; that is impossible. There are a lot of cases of people who has been in jail and then they are sent free because their innocence is proved. Death penalty is not an option. And if they want guilty people to suffer, they are not going to achieve it this way because once the person is death the pain is over. The best way is to help them rehabilitate even if they have to be stock in a place the rest of their life. But if we want a better society, we can’t do the same as they do. We can’t pay death with death nor blood with blood.
