Views on "Capital Punishment" in Texas


     Capital punishment, also known as the death penalty, is a legal way to put the criminals to death in order to punish what he has done. Many states in America started the death penalty in the past, but some of them have already abolished it. Nevertheless, Texas still has capital punishment. I think it should be banned in Texas.
     First, Capital punishment would not help if the government put criminals to death. For example, a criminal was arrested because of murdering someone. It is a fact that the victim was dead and things cannot be changed. Therefore, the dead penalty does not have any benefit for either the victims or their family. 
     Second, some opponents may argue about the cost of feeding the criminals, but in fact, the cost of the death penalty is much higher than feeding them for 50 years. Additionally, people think we are just wasting money on those criminals, but actually we should give them a time to have reflections on the crime they did, although they do not have the chance to come out from prison anymore. 
     Last but the least, we do not have the right to put someone to death, no matter what he has done. It is immoral to kill him because we are just doing the same thing as him if we use dead penalty. 
     In conclusion, the dead penalty is immoral and cannot help the case at all. Therefore, I affirm that capital punishment should be banned, not only in Texas, but also the whole world.
