Reverend Hale of the Crucible once announced: “Life is God's most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, can justify its taking. With this statement the topic of the death penalty can arise and what also comes into play in today's society. This concept can be defined as a capital punishment inflicted on an individual who has committed a crime up to a certain limit. However, what is the limit beyond which we draw this extreme? In today's society, the death penalty is widely debated as to whether it should be abolished or maintained. In this regard, many factors must be taken into consideration, such as financial costs and satisfaction received. Furthermore, it is purely more expensive to execute a single criminal than to house him. While the death of the perpetrator who killed some loved ones may help ease the pain of relatives or friends, the overall satisfaction is short-term. People may want their loved one's death to be avenged with this, but they are normally still devastated in the coming years. Furthermore, if one wanted to get even, the death penalty is not the only form of punishment available to that state. The feeling of knowing that the perpetrator may be in solitary confinement for life is more satisfying when it comes to revenge. Nowadays, the death penalty is mainly used with lethal injection, quick and painless for the one who caused pain to countless people. When it comes to the final product, relatives and friends only want the victim's life back. Whether the criminal is executed or not, the main issue is the fact that his relative is dead and will not return after the criminal's death. Ultimately, the short-term fulfillment of the death penalty may not satisfy one which may introduce other forms of punishment that may leave one feeling better within one. If it were implemented perfectly, it would be reserved exclusively for criminals who cannot be turned for good and released. to the civilian population for security reasons, then the death penalty might be bearable. With innocent people being executed and the legal system functioning in such a way that legislating a death sentence costs more than keeping someone in solitary confinement for life, supporting this method of capital punishment seems foolish. However, some might argue that reducing legal costs might simply make it worth the resources and time. If the appeals process were reformed simply to reduce legal fees, then the likelihood of making a mistake and executing more innocent people would increase. Referring to what Reverend Hale stated, regardless of the time period, the death penalty may never be justified due to the simple lack of long-term satisfaction that can arise from it and, in today's society, the apparent waste of efforts, resources, time. , and the potential margin for error in the legal process makes it appear
