    Against, and not because of sympathy for criminals. The death penalty doesn't reduce violent crime, costs much more than life in prison and, worst of all, can lead to the nightmare of executing someone for a crime he didn’t commit.

    The death penalty is MUCH more expensive than life in prison, but at least if killed, the felon couldn't escape. It depends what the crime was.

    I think some crimes like murder and molestation of children deserve the death penalty.

    Depends on the crime.

    I think it's more humane to end their lives in some cases. Provided they don't have to wait forever without knowing when.
