Imprisonment is More Humane than Capital Punishment Murder, where to commit it. Canada vs. U. S. A. In this essay you will learn about Peter and Joe.
Peter lives in Canada, he killed five people and was sentenced to the maximum sentence of twenty-five years. Joe lives in the United States and also killed five people, he received a death sentence. Please remember in this essay Peter and Joe are not real people they are just used to explain this essay. First we will learn about Peter’s sentence of twenty-five years, then we will learn about Joe’s death sentence.
First lets talk about Peter. He has a life sentence, which in Canada is twenty-five years. I believe this is not a whole life, with all the privileges Peter can earn it’s just like sitting at home, and not going to work. After fifteen years Peter can apply for parole, he most likely won’t get it considering he killed five people. Peter has his own room with a toilet, still he has no privacy. Guards are watching him throughout most of the day.
Peter has many privileges like television, gym access, library access, the telephone and also visitors. However these privileges are not “free” they are earned by being good. The question about going insane well I really don’t think he could. If he can sit around, watch television, read books, workout, and well be lazy, how could you go insane like that? Now, back to Joe, he lives in the United States. He was convicted of killing five people also, he received a death sentence.
The Essay on Capital Punishment Death People Life
Capital Punishment Capital punishment is an extreme punishment used to correct extreme crimes. The death penalty has been used for centuries before Christ and hopefully centuries after him. The old version of the death penalty was used for strange crimes such as: marrying a Jew, cutting down a tree, treason, or stealing. Capital punishment today is more humane today with new methods like lethal ...
Joe is now waiting on death row. His death date is three years from now. Joe spends about twenty-three hours a day in his room on death row, he gets about one hour to walk around. Like Peter Joe does not have privileges like television, gym access, and visitors. He gets books and maybe the telephone at certain times.
Now about two months before Joe’s death date he is told that it has been changed to another two years from now. This could happen up to ten times before the actual date of his death. I think that this could make a person go insane, sitting in a room almost all day, knowing when your date to die is and then changing it over and over again. Joe does have the right to apply for an appeal of his sentence but most likely won’t get it. I hope Peter and Joe have helped you learn more about imprisonment and capital punishment. As for what I think I would rather commit murder in Canada because there is more privileges.
After twenty-five years you are guaranteed out and in the U. S you are guaranteed to die.
