Why do those who are for the death penalty think that if there wasn't one, those people would be let go.

If you think about it, life in prison is a much more fitting punishment. Once they are dead, there is no punishment, they are just dead. I think life in prison is a torturous thing. For those of us who have to visit inmates often we realize how much being in jail sucks. That's why we send people who have broken the law to jail..not b/c it's fun, but for them to be punished. I've been to a few murder trials. The last death penalty sentencing I went to, the convict basically said "Kill me, it's better than having to spend the rest of my life in jail. Go ahead, I'm not sorry for what I did". He was trying hard to be put to death b/c he knew what life would be like if he had to sit in prison for the rest of their life. I think giving them what they want does no justification for the system.
