Should Capital punishment be replaced by Life imprisonment ?

In my view, capital punishment should be replaced by life imprisonment (in all cases apart from treason) on the grounds of the need to allow prisoners to mend the error of the ways. This way is merciful, rather than going for ultimate retribution.

Hi Juniorance, yes, I absolutely agree that the capital punishment should be banned everywhere. It not only is "unjust" within the so called justice, but what makes the once killing better than the condemned in such case? Absolutely nothing. So yes, lets banish the killings forever. TheFortunes

I believe it should for two reasons, one because I think there has been too many mistakes made in the past, the legal system plays too many games and are somtimes corrupt themselves plus two I firmly believe there is something after this life and I think everyone goes there and I don't think we should do any of these people a favour, so at least life imprisonment with hard labour and no perks gives a guilty verdict a chance to be overturned when a mistake has been made.

every life is precious. every one deserves a chance. and only the GIVER OF LIFE can take it back.
