Against.
Many of those Against the Death Penalty state that it doesn't Deter crime...that is, having the death
penalty in a state doesn't lower the crime rate. I maintain, the Death Penalty isn't about Deterring
Crime...it' is preventing 1 criminal from repeating the Same Crime while saving society the Fear and
Anxiety of wondering if that criminal will ever be paroled. For example, Mason. How much money have
we spent keeping this 1 criminal incarcerated for how long? Can anyone estimate? Each year he's denied
parole. But what if next year some parole panel decides enough is enough, let him go and try to
reintegrate into society. Do you want Manson moving next door to you and your family, your children,
your teenage daughter? If you say that's OK with you, that Manson moves into your apartment complex
next door to YOUR 15-20 year old daughter, then I say, Go for it, give the man Parole. But if you say
"NO", like any Sane human being, then explain to me how not executing him has, in any way, helped our
society. Explain to me how it's helped Him, for that matter. Keeping him alive has neither enriched our
society as a people, nor has it helped the Man himself in anyway. He contributes Nothing to Society. He
gains nothing by continued existence. Is it not cruel and unusual torture to keep a man locked up for
decades with no Hope at all of redemption, parole or salvation? And if you won't let him go, what do you
gain by keeping him alive? If he is dead, he is no longer suffering, and society is relieved of the anxiety
and Fear of him committing the same crime again.
