CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Since the existence of the times, capital punishment has been the biggest punishment in prisons. A long time ago, the execution often involved torture with cruel methods such as the breaking wheel. Now, fifty-six countries use this punishment legally, like the USA, and six countries have by law that if someone commits a crime in war, this person has to die by death penalty. There are countries where the capital punishment isn’t legal, for example the European countries (Spain, France, Italy, Germany, England, etc)

What do we think? We think that the capital punishment has to be legal all around the world, because… Why does someone have to be killed and the person that killed him or her continues alive? Why does someone have to rape a woman, a child or anybody and continues with his normal life?

We think that prison isn’t enough for someone that has killed or raped, for example terrorists, they have hurt a lot of people and they are still alive and we give them food and somewhere to live in prison, we think they don’t deserve that.

In conclusion, we think that capital punishment should be legal in our country, Spain.
