Capital punishment does not automatically imply justice.

I do not understand the benefit


derived from the implementation of capital punishment in the U.S.A. More often than not, what
is considered effective is a matter of human versus error (errors are inevitable and human are
unpredictable). I defensively disagree on the claim that it should be put into effect on
convicted murderer. Its an obvious fact that capital punishment has done more harm than
good to the society and human existence. Lets face it; crimes are at the highest peak in the
U.S.A more than ever. In spite of the laws governing the crimes in the U.S.A., the
manifestation of crimes is still growing at an alarming rate (the more intense the laws get, the
more crimes increase). Consequently, this rapid growth of crimes has led to the waste of more
human lives via capital punishment. Humans are executed with huge potentials inside them
and society is losing its tendencies to grow economically. From ethical point of view, the issue
of capital punishment has generated a lot of controversies as to the role of government in the
whole set up. I strongly believe that the involvement of government in the enforcement of
capital punishment and other criminal related laws needs to be checked. Government
politicizes criminal cases and shows a lot of biases, errors and injustice in passing judgment.
Government tends to base judgment on race, social class or perhaps the most common
reason for its deed-financial strength. The more financially strong you are the better chance
you have in getting an attorney that will prove your case right even if the proof is fabricated.
Furthermore, the implementation of capital punishment gives no room for second change. No
matter how inevitably errors are, they can be corrected and eradicated. Also, unpredictable
nature of human that leads him to commit murder can be unpredictably make him realized the
gravity of his offence and possibly change his mind-set. Nevertheless, they should be
confirmed to the prison for mentality readjustment. In conclusion, there shouldnt be any
reason for capital punishment at all. There are some very humane approaches to access
crimes without killing criminals. Convicted murderer can be kept in the prison for a period of
time for their corrupt mentalities to turn normal. During the span of their imprisonment, the
prisoners can discover their potentials and even become a great asset to the society.
