(Matthews,2) The death penalty is not inhumane because it can be done.
painlessly and quickly. In most cases when the execution was performed the.
process that was most often used was lethal injection. Out of the 314.
executions that have taken place since 1976 the majority of them, 179 have been.
done by means of lethal injection. The electric chair has been used 123 times,.
the gas chamber: 9 times, a firing squad: twice, and hanging: once.(Rodriquez,.
4) Lethal injection is a quick, non-suffering way to execute the death row.
prisoners. Opposers to the death penalty don't even realize that these inmates.
are being done a favor. By being executed, they are being put out of their.
misery. There are not that many people who want to be stuck in a small cell for.
the rest of their life where prison rape has become more common. By executing.
these prisoners, they won't have to suffer. Another reason the people who.
oppose the death penalty feel that it is unfair is that it denies the person the.
privilege to be retried if any new evidence comes up. On the average, an inmate.
in kept in prison 8 years before their death sentence is carried out.(Yaffe,2).
If no evidence is found by then to prove their true innocence, chances are no.
evidence will ever be found. Besides anyone who is on death row has already.
gone through a trial so they had their chance to prove their innocence. The.
jury obviously found them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and decided they.
should get the death penalty. Justice has already prevailed. Even though the.
Old Testament book of Exodus commands "Thou shall not kill," just three chapters.
later in the same book it is advocating "life for life," "eye for eye," and.
"tooth for tooth". The death penalty can be justified because it can be done.
painlessly, it is actually putting the prisoners out of their misery, and the.
prisoner has to deal with the consequences from what they did.
