Death Penalty

I think that death penalty should be allowed because it prevents the citizen that committed the crime from getting out and being able to go commit another crime. Though the death penalty costs alot of money i feel that the government should be able to put a person that committed a crime to death depending on the crime and the intensity of it. I feel that capital punishment is an effective deterrent because it teaches other citizens that if you commit a crime than you will be put to death depending on the severity of the crime. I feel that the biggest benefit of the Death Penalty is knowing that as a citizen you are safer when the citizen that committed the crime is in jail or put to death and that you do not have to worry about them being in your community, depending on the state you live in. I was surprised on how much the average cost of keeping a citizen in jail for one year is so expensive.
