        Because death is the only thing in existence for a human that is both irreversible and non-compensatable. Any normal sentence is not.

          a vast majority getting sent to execution already took a human life or multiple. Life sentence isn't any better than the death sentence anyways even if they do get out on parole they will never be able to live normally again.

          You wouldn't think it to be a deterrant?
          Like, a person killed 9 people on a train the other day in Paris. He doesn't deserve the punishment of death?

            No such thing. Also even if we 100% knew, what then? A person is more useful alive than dead, unless it's an active threat. But that's not a sentence, that's just combat

            Over the years there are undoubtedly a large number of innocent people with life sentences in prison who have died and will die in prison after spending the majority of their life there. Some wrongfully convicted can be exonerated but the fact is that for many their lives were effectively irreversibly taken from them without compensation. That doesn't mean life sentences should be abolished. Special care is also taken for those suffering the death penalty to ensure their guilt compared to other crimes.

            Yup, that sure sounds better, There are things worse than death and spending forever in a prison where you have zero freedom definitely sounds worse to me. Though the execution methods we have these days are pretty shit too. Amazing how we consider hanging or firing squads barbaric now, but chemicals with a pretty high rate of failure are okay.
            I find prisons highly barbaric but they dont have the aesthetic of violence so normies are more okay with thinking it exists than with thinking violent punishments exist, and That is what is important to them, not the actual experience and consequences of prison.
            Id abolish prisons if I could. Death penalty when the crime is severe, cutting of a hand for theft, public beating for stuff that only nets you <2 years in prison, etc. I doubt people get better by being stuck in a cage with a bunch of other low tier people, they might actually improve with a swift physical lesson.

          Assuming the 12% is legit that is pretty bad to be honest. Makes you wonder how accurate it is on less severe crimes. I would assume it's worse since the consequence of a wrongful conviction are smaller so jury and lawyers feel less pressure to get it right. Though I guess in our system a lawyers job isn't to figure out the truth..

    Imagine using some Gayreek frame of reference unless you are, in fact, a hairy brown swarthoid. The idea of just and unjust punishment is nonsense. Rehabilitation is nonsense. Satisfying yourself with revenge is the only honest motivation for punishment.

    How is it less barbaric (whatever you mean by that) to lock someone in a box for 25 years? The only question you should be asking is:

    'would doing this to the offender bring me satisfaction?'

    I'm against the death penalty but not because it's barbaric. We know that our justice system isn't perfect, and wrongful convictions do sometimes happen. With the death penalty there's a chance you're executing an innocent person, without it they might one day be able to prove their innocence.

    Yes, but not that it matters. The risk of the death penalty rests on the integrity of the justice system and the socius its body of law governs. Prohibition of capital punishment naturally comes into force where people do not trust their or their institutions' discernment. It's a libertarian safeguard put into place where the risk of a corrupt justice system is considered at large to be more likely to threaten social function than individual evils. When the social fabric disintegrates for one reason or another and distrust is no longer leveled against the state but against fellow man the reverse tends to be the case. I don't think passing a moral judgement on the practice of capital punishment ultimately says much when both its prohibition and its necessity have been legitimized and argued for in the name of both transcendental and secular causes irrespective of the argued self-consistency of the various related dogma.

    No. What is truly barbaric is throwing a man in his 20s in a cell for the rest of his natural life. People who get life in prison usually outlive the judge, guards, & victims with the only evidence of their crime remaining being a piece of paper.

    The blood of the innocent cry out for vengeance but justice has a time limit to be enacted. The death penalty is humane compared to the alternatives.

        No. I am talking about people who are not innocent. It is more humane to give a murderer a set date for an execution than it is to let him waste away in prison for an unknowable length of time. Keeping a man in a cell for 23hrs a day with barely any contact with other human beings is considered torture by most nations, and yet we allow such things to occur in our prisons.
