INNOCENT

Decades later DNA evidence proves the innocence of 3 young men sentenced to death. This case is a great example of prosecutorial misconduct and corruption in the justice system.

DISCRIMINATION

Studies have shown that the Death Penalty has been disproportionally enforced on minority groups. Until we address the issue of systemic racism in the criminal justice system, the death penalty should be abolished.

ITS NOT EFFECTIVE

Studies have shown that the Death Penalty is not an effective deterrent.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE IS NOT JUSTICE

5001800630 — 2025-02-16 17:04:46 UTC

It is unethical for the state to have the right to take anyone's life for any reason.

WE CANT AFFORD THE DEATH PENALTY

Studies show that the death penalty is way more expensive than housing an inmate for a life sentence.

REFORM

Shouldn't the goal of the prison system to be to rehabilitate prisoners? You cant rehabilitate the dead.

THE SYSTEM IS FLAWED

5001800630 — 2025-02-16 17:16:09 UTC

We cannot sentence people to death when the criminal justice system is as flawed as it is.

WHAT ABOUT THEIR FAMILY?

Executing prisoners can cause long term emotional distress to their family. The family of the prisoner should not have to suffer along with them.

ABUSE OF POWER

5001800630 — 2025-02-16 17:26:36 UTC

The government is being run by big corporations. I cannot trust that the government wont abuse their power to silence people by using the death penalty.

THE RIGHT TO LIFE

5001800630 — 2025-02-16 17:28:41 UTC

Everyone has the right to life. It seems like the most basic of right. One one should have the power to take someone's life away for any reason.
