How many of you have heard about crimes so horrible that they sound like came out of a horror story? Today I?m going to try and persuade you into why capital punishment is good and why it should be reinstated.

I?ll do this by first, discussing what is wrong with the capital punishment system right now, Second, I will discuss some possible solutions to fix it, and finally, I will discuss why the changes to the capital punishment system will be beneficial.
The capital punishment system is currently broken, with nearly 405 people annually emitted into prison with the death sentence. With these numbers coming in very few death penalties are actually carried through. With these delayed executions have shown to increase costs two fold (Mc Clatchy). The average age found guilty and receiving a death penalties is 29 years old and the average age in which the penalties are finally carried out is 46 years old. So on average an inmate that is facing death row is in prison for 17 years before their execution is finally processed. Even then most inmates have endless amounts of appeals and trials which cost the state more because the state has to pay for juries and the judge and …show more content…
The costs of these inmates is way too much annually and is costing the state and tax payers tons of money which could be better spent in the community. With your support of capital punishment we can help improve the justice system and our surrounding community with the extra funding. Help and look out for the future of this country and the population?s
