I'm definitely for it. I don't think they give it out often enough, actually. In many other countries, there's less crime because would-be criminals are terrified of the punishment if they're caught. I don't think criminals in the U.S. fear authority enough. Maybe if we used the death penalty more often and applied it more quickly once the sentence was handed down, the crime rate would be curbed somewhat. I do understand that innocent people are wrongly imprisoned at times, and that is why we have so many checks and balances. But I feel the process is still too lengthy.
