I honestly don't know how i feel about the death penalty.

Are you for it or against it and why?

I have been the spiritual advisor for an individual who was executed for his crimes. That also means I was one of the few men inside the death chamber during the execution, so I saw it very close and personal. It leaves you emotionally ripped apart to go through it.

I am still however in favor of keeping it on the books, and let it be used. If you want to reduce the feeling of barbarism that some fear it evokes, you actually need to use it more quickly. The quicker a person makes it through all the mandatory appeals the less stressed they are at the execution. (in my observations)

Sounds very traumatic. So why do you feel it should be kept on the books

I'd support it. There would probably be less crimes if we had made examples out of people who did them.
I support all the way but only for murdereres, rapists and pedophiles.

I think some crimes are so heinous it calls for it but my reservation is what if we put an innocent person to death. We can't take that back. So, I'm for it in cases that call for it if there is irrefutable evidence to show the person is guilty.

Yeah same here i'd say.
I know life in prison sucks...but you're still alive. Some people don't deserve that

I think from a utilitarian standpoint its a waste to kill them. I'm all for keeping individuals who want to be a danger away from society forever though.
