Capital punishment, a constantly debated topic, questions whether or not it serves its purpose which is to deter criminals and whether it is morally acceptable. My goal is to evaluate the arguments that promote or reject capital punishment and its deterrent factor. It would be useful to compare crime statistics between states that support and those that abolish capital punishment. Finally, an investigation into criminals facing the death penalty and their thoughts, as well as modern prison conditions, will provide insights into this debate. Capital punishment may be a great deterrent to crime, or it may have no effect at all. Capital punishment is a constantly debated topic due to moral principles and effects on society. Many argue that the possibility of death prevents crime. Others argue that the execution is unfair. Flamehorse's article, "5 Arguments for and Against the Death Penalty," provides the common reasons supported by the company with a brief analysis.

The purpose of this source is to evaluate and compare prisons with the death penalty. Prisons are intended to protect society, punish convicted criminals, deter criminal activity, and, when possible, rehabilitate criminals an increase in incarcerated criminals due to an increase in population and longer life expectancy. This may lead to an experience similar to facing capital punishment. poorer healthcare, greater risks of violence and the probable risk of disease. This type of environment violates constitutional, moral and ethical rights, as well as human rights. This situation could encourage the idea of thinning the population, or abolishing punishment of death because prison is hell.
