  • Essay / The death penalty in Dead Man Walking By Sister Helen...

    Simply because he would be tortured even more with disgusting prison food, would be forced to work and count his days until he dies naturally. I think someone would be tortured more because their mind can haunt itself and they might even have memories and nightmares of the crimes they committed. She contradicts me by saying that the death penalty is not an easy way out, and yes, the food he will receive from prison will be disgusting, but he will still have food. If he falls ill, the medical commission will give him medicine. I point out another fact: it is much more troublesome to always impose the death penalty, because it takes too much time with the court and the jury, as well as using the nation's money just to execute a criminal. If the criminal were rich, then all he would have to do is hire a very good lawyer and ask him to defend the case, thereby prolonging the case until another day, thus postponing his sentence by dead.
