Death Penalty Should Be Allowed

What is Capital punishment? Capital punishment is the death penalty. It is used today
and was used in ancient times to punish a variety of offenses. Some people were executed in
Indonesia through July 2016. Most death penalty cases involve the execution of drug peddlers
although capital punishment can also be applied for treason, espionage, and other crimes include
the corrupt.
Indonesia is likely to resume executions of prisoners with 14 inmates – four
Indonesians and 10 foreign nationals. Four sentenced to death have been executed on Friday
morning (29/07) consisting Of one Indonesian and the others are Nigerian.
Around 4:30 o'clock bodies of executed prisoners brought using ambulan. Budiman
Freddy's corpse will be buried in Surabaya, and Humphrey Jefferson’s brought to Banyumas to
review cremated and others brought to Jakarta,four of them are;
1. Humphrey Jefferson Ejike Eleweke (Nigeria)
Jefferson, then a restaurant owner, was arrested in 2003 after police found 1.7kg of heroin in a
room used by one of his employees. He was sentenced to death in 2004 .
2. Freddy Budiman (Indonesia)
Budiman was sentenced to death by the West Jakarta district court in 2012, after he was found
guilty of smuggling 1.4m ecstasy pills from China in 2011. The drugs operation was uncovered
by the National Narcotics Agency when officers raided a track carrying the pills in West Jakarta.
It was later discovered the drugs belonged to Budiman, who at the time was already in prison but
controlling the trade from behind bars..
3. Michael Titus Igweh (Nigerian)
Titus was found guilty of possessing 5.8kg of heroin in 2002. At the time he was 23 years old.
He was sentenced to death the following year. He claims he was subject to beatings and torture
in detention
4. Seck Osmane (Senegal/South Africa)
Osmane was sentenced to death in Jakarta in 2004 for carrying 2.4kg of heroin in 25 packages.
His appeal was rejected by the supreme court in 2005, and fin
al judicial challenges failed in 2009 and 2011.
We do agree with this punishment because of a lot reasons. The United Nations have
been released the rule of death penalty 25 May 1984“Safeguards guaranteeing protection of the
rights of those facing the death penalty.
The first reason is proponents of the death penalty say that it is an important tool for law
enforcement because death penalty will give deterrent effect to defendant. Could the same effect
be achieved between by putting the criminal in prison for life and death penalty? in Freddy
Budima’s case ,if Freddy had released by the police, Freddy would have arranged the system of
paddling of drugs, Prisoner parole or escapes can give criminals another chance.
.Base of that fact, it’s deterrent effect will never be as great as that of the death penalty. The
death penalty is the the best way to punish the defendant. Because of that, it is the one that
people fear the most.
The second reason is deters crime. Death penalty can make someone long-term thinking
for doing something criminals because people fear nothing more than death. Therefore, nothing
will deter a criminal more than the fear of death. Wherefore, life in prison is less feared.
Murderers clearly prefer it to execution -- otherwise, they would not try to be sentenced to life in
prison instead of death.Therefore, a life sentence must be less deterrent than a death sentence.
And we must execute murderers as long as it is merely possible that their execution protects
citizens from future murder."
The next reason is because for justice. They deserve death penalty because they have hurt
so many peoples life and they should go to jail instead of getting killed. But at the end some
people don't realize what they had done to peoples life. Some people who got killed may be
important to their family members and the killers who killed them don't realize that the poeple
that they are killing are important to some people.
The last reason say that death penalty costs less than life imprisonment. It’s because
death penalty save more money than life imprisonment. Claimed 'cost studies,' often performed
by or at the behest of death penalty opponents, are frequently so incomplete as to be false and
misleading. For example, they don't take into account the increase in the cost of life without
parole cases if there were no death penalty. Criminal defendants who are facing the death penalty
— which today must be pleaded by prosecutors up front — often want to make a deal by
pleading guilty to first degree murder in exchange for a sentencing recommendation of life
without parole. The existence of the death penalty as a possible sentence leads to guilty pleas that
save the money spent on trials and limit the opportunity for appeals." Annual cost increases are
based upon: 1) historical increases in prison costs, including judicial decisions regarding prison
conditions,and the national inflation rate; 2) medical costs, including the immense cost of
geriatric care; 3) injury or death to the inmate by violence; 4) injury or death to others caused by
the inmate.; 5) the risk and the perceived risk of escape. Lastly, the cost for justice does not have
to be so high for the execution of murderers. If we only allowed appeals that are relevant in
proving one's innocence and eliminated the many more that are used merely as delaying tactics,
it would save millions in taxpayer dollars.
So that the conclusion why do we agree with this punishment, just a simple reason, it can
make the deterrant effect for the defendant so that makes the other criminal will concerned to do
it and can minimalize criminal acts.
