There is no purpose to the death penalty that cannot be equally met by other methods which do not involve murder. Solitary confinement, counseling, prisoner rehabilitation programs, etc. etc.
That these programs are under-funded and therefore currently ineffective is
not an acceptable argument in favour of the death penalty because it reduces human life to economic considerations.
