Death penalty
Nowdays, the death penalty is still common in many places. In spite of growing up in a country where the death penalty is banned, I often listen other people saying "he should die" and "Eye for an eye". In my opinion, by punishing murderers with murder, society is also guilty of the same.
First of all, from a religious point of view, I do not approve humans taking another life, neither by punishment nor by another cause (An exception would be a self-defence attack or to save an inocent life). I could not spend my life in a place where those practices were normal.
I believe that instead of thinking whether they deserve death or not, societies efforts, through government, should be focused on how to improve the education system, social services. As well as to improve the conditions of prisons so as to convert those places into true reinsertion instruments. If you look at other examples, we can see that in Netherlands, prisons are quite empty. So, I think that the most important idea is to analyze why that person is on that place, and to spare no effort in creating a more equal society and in doing so preventing future crimes from happening.
--I'm unsure about what you were trying to say in the final sentence. Wasn't able to pickup on what you were trying to say with the text "that person is on that place"
Hope this helps you.

The Death Penalty
Nowadays, capital punishment is still common in many places. In spite of growing up in a country where the death penalty is banned, I often hear people saying "he should die" or "An eye for an eye". In my opinion, by punishing murderers with murder, society is also guilty of the same.First, from a religious point of view, I do not approve of humans taking another life, either by punishment or by any other way with the possible exceptions of self-defence or to save an innocent life. I could not spend my life in a place where those practices were normal.
Second, many people believe that killing the perpetrators is not a punishment, and that they have to live the rest of their time locked in a cell. Although I partially support that idea, is not because I think they have to "get rotted" while confined, but because I believe that prisons should be a place where they can find redemption, and depending on their crime, they can be taught to be reinserted into society.
I believe that instead of thinking whether they deserve death or not, society's efforts, through government, should focus on how to improve the educational system, social services and also the conditions of prisons to convert those places in true rehabilitation instruments. If we look at other examples, we can see that in the Netherlands, prisons are quite empty. So, I think that the most important idea is to analyze why that person is in that place, and to spare no effort in creating a more equal society, preventing future crimes from happening.
