Film Review on "Death Penalty Is Final Punishment"

r />

Punishment is a legal requirement, and it should not mean insulting human bodies, putting a person to a long series of pain through electrocution and hanging. Often people are not properly killed during hanging or electrocution, rather get their tissues damaged, and then die a very painful death after time of hours of even days. This is very in humanistic, and I think if the rightful executions are carried out, these will not be more than a couple during a decade. There are many discussions carried out worldwide to give or not to give the capital punishment and most of them end at a point that the capital punishment should be rare but not be abolished totally. This is because, there are some crimes that do not deserve a criminal to live like a terrorist causing pain and chaos in society.

Reverting

Many people are against the capital punishment because it is not revertible. I believe that the capital punishment should be so rarely given that there should be no margin of error in it. Reverting life sentence is possible while reverting execution is not. Yet the system needs to be too strict that the chances of error should be minimized. I do not support the death penalty as a common practice as Pierrepoint executed over six hundred people during his tenure of service. It should be only for very grave crimes that are a threat for society as a whole of national security issue. Thus, it will be a warning for the citizens too and will minimize the inhumane practice of killing people. Like the lives of innocent people killed by a serial murderer cannot be reverted, the jury should not feel sorry for the serial killer too. But this rule cannot be generalized for all the crimes and all the criminals.

Conclusion

The capital punishment cannot be justified for every criminal and is given to only serial killers and the grave criminals which may not be more in number than a couple during a time of a decade. Yet, there are many innocent people executed because they cannot prove their innocence. Often even most advanced tests are insufficient to prove the guilt of an inmate. Hundreds of people are waiting their final decision in prisons and most of them have a deteriorated mental health because of pending death penalty. There are rights of criminals of death punishment also, and despite the death penalty, a human is a human. Killing people through painful and humiliating irreversible procedures should be limited, and the rights or criminals should be acknowledged.
