If someone takes another person's life on purpose (murder) they should get the Death Penalty and NOT life in prison. It is NOT fair that we pay our tax money to feed them and keep them alive. It also should NOT matter if the inmate has psychological disorders (insanity, PTSD, schizophrenia, etc). We should give ALL violent criminals (James Holmes, Eddie Ray Routh, etc) and terrorists (Ted Kaczynski, Richard Reid, etc) the Death Penalty and NOT life in prison. Life in prison is NOT a harsher sentence. We should enforce the Death penalty in all 50 states and use all 6 methods (Electric Chair, Beheading, Hanging, Lethal Injection, Gas Chamber, and Firing Squad). If we use the Death Penalty more often; crime rates will decrease.
