Some people believe that by killing someone society is also making a crime, so, that why death penalty should be forbidden. Life in prison would be a better punishment. Do you agree or disagree?

Several individuals are of the opinion that
criminals
must not be hanged because the
death
penalty
is
also
a criminal offence. They suggest life in
prison
to be a better option for the law offenders. I strongly agree with the assertion that
criminals
must not be killed. The essay below will discuss
this
view at length.
First
and foremost, some prisoners are wrongly accused of crimes they did not commit.
Therefore
, hanging an innocent soul because of court injustice is unfair.
That is
why I support that
criminals
must not face

penalty
.
For instance
, in 2015 the Zimbabwe high court had a case of a twin brother confessing to having killed their mother, while the other twin was wrongly arrested and had already served one year in jail awaiting to be hanged. In
such
a case the
first
twin was going to die without justice being served.
Furthermore
, the jail has become a rehabilitation centre for some convicts.
Therefore
, the
death
penalty
means there is no time to repent and change their ways.
Hence
I agree that those in jail should not be hanged but rather spend the rest of their lives in
prison
.
For example
, there is a television program in South Africa ( behind bars) where they interview prisoners. Almost 90% of the convicts show remorse towards their actions and mostly ask for forgiveness from the people they wronged. If
such
prisoners were killed
then
they would not get time to confess and ask for pardon. In conclusion, the essay above agreed that
criminals
must not be given the
death
penalty
, it is better for them to spend the rest of their lives in
prison
.
This
is because there are innocent people in jails who are convicted for crimes they did not commit and
prison
sometimes changes the convict's
