Should psychopaths (the ones who turn into serial killers) be given the death penalty?

since our prisons are so crowded anyway and it's expensive to keep them in there. it would save us a lot of tax money that could be spent on better things and rehabilitation doesn't work for them.

    they should be sentenced to life, and people in prison for things like marijuana possession and other non-violent crimes should be released or put on house arrest or probation to deal with overcrowding.

    I don't believe in the death penalty in any case. But we could do a lot to improve our prison system and it purpose concerning rehab. Maybe not with insane or career crims, but there is surely a lot of improvement that can be done in other areas.

    No no no no no. Few reasons.

    1. The death penalty is more expensive than life in prison.
    2. Revenge is a foul motive.
    3. The state has no right to execute its own citizens, or should have no right.
    4. Pyschopaths and serial killers don't just "happen" - there are complex social reasons why a place like America has such a problem with spree shootings and serial killers. Death penalty puts the focus on individual acts, and away from fixing the **** that creates these people in the first place.

    I agree with all your other points but why do you think death penalty is more expensive than life in prison. Sources?

    I went to look this up and found a good article on politifact, who is a pretty good fact checking website. I'm not 100% right, but the death penalty is still very expensive. http://tinyurl.com/66gwxhq

    Hypothetically: yes

    In reality: No. I think killing one innocent person is much worse than killing ten guilty people. The justice systems of the world are always flawed and I don't think we should risk innocent people getting framed for murder(s).

    Yes, some do, but some of those ones have mental issues and confess to crimes they didn't even commit (e.g. in the Jon Benet Ramsay case).

    It's really hard to diagnose... institutionalization and rehabilitation would be better
