By punishing murderers with the death penalty, society is also guilty of committing murder. Therefore, life in prison is a better punishment for murderers. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

As the serious crime has increased rapidly over the

last

decades, the argument of which is the proper

punishment

of those who committed murder crimes, has

also

risen. Some people believe that society would become a participant in the crime by killing the murderer, and that setting them in prison is a better

penalty

.

However

, I disagree with putting killers in jail as a proper

punishment

. In

this

essay I will outline some reasons for that.

Firstly

, the justice cannot be applied by maintaining the life of murderers. Since the death

penalty

is for those who kill on purpose and consistency, letting them alive cannot be considered as a suitable response for what they have committed. They have not taken the life of victims only, but those victims’ families and friends are

also

suffering. Retaining the rights of those cannot be applied without taking the life of the murderers.

Moreover

, the amount of the government’s budget specified for prisoners and crime prevention will increase by applying the prison

punishment

for those committing murders. A huge amount of money is already being spent in providing facilities and healthcare for prisoners.

Therefore

, increasing them by keeping the killers whom there is no hope for them to get out of jail, is a burden more than a solution. As well as

this

, not punishing the committees of murder by the death

penalty

would increase the rate of those serious crimes, and

consequently

, requiring the government to spend more money on preventing them. In summary,

although

the death

penalty

is an ultimate

punishment

, I believe that not applying it on murderers will result in spreading the feeling of injustice among the families of victims and increasing the burdens on the government.
