A SCENARIO WHERE A CRIMINAL WOULD GLADLY CHOOSE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT OBER LIFE IMPRISONMENT?WELL, AS SURREAL AS IT SOUNDS.

a scenario where a criminal would gladly choose capital punishment over life imprisonment? Well, as surreal as it sounds, there are prisons in this world that make the death penalty a merciful sentence.

Prisons riddled with unspeakable horror that would make your stomach turn. In this article, I’m going to show you the 10 worst ones, so take a deep breath because things are about to get very ugly

Capital punishment, popularly known as death penalty is considered as a form of the best justifiable criminal execution. 

The legal and judicial system across the globe, consider this form of punishment to be the best way of punishing a wrongdoer. 

The concept of capital punishment is defined by law and imposed without biasness. 

It was and still is practiced by the justice delivering authority of the 'state', whereby a lawbreaker or precisely a criminal is hung to death which is of course solemnized only with the proper legal orders and proceedings done by the state.

 Basically it is a government-sanctioned practice of giving punishment which was always present in every recognized society.

Now the question arises, how far is this practice of capital punishment justifiable?

The principle of capital punishment is that, certain lawbreakers deserves nothing other than death penalty as a just proportionate and effective punishment. 

Problems of death penalty is not with its principle but with its implementation. 

Murders forfeit their rights as humans while taking away the life of another. 

By waving such a powerful punishment as the response to murder, society affirms the value that is placed upon the right to life of the innocents. 

According to the datas, most of the cases  of murder shows that, innocent people have been killed by the released, paroled or escaped murderers.

 Those who are against of the death penalty prefer to ignore the fact that they themselves are responsible for its high costs, by causing a never-ending succession of appeals. 

Prisons in many countries especially India, are over-crowded and under-funded, and this problem is made worse by life sentences or delayed death sentences for murderers.

Another very popular way of punishment is 'life imprisonment'. 'Life imprisonment' is a form of punishment, where a culprit is kept in the prison till his death. 

This debate topic reminds me of one of the very popular short stories of Anton Chekhov called

 'The Bet', where the protagonist being a lawyer himself spends his 20 years of life just to prove that life imprisonment is better than the death penalty.
