I'm against the death penalty.

You hear about innocent individuals being convicted, even for serious crimes, often enough that, over a long period of time, it's inevitable that an innocent person will be put to death.

Plus, I think that forcing someone to live in a tiny cell for 60+ years with only one hour of exercise per day and no voluntary conjugal activity is more of a punishment than 10 or so years in prison, 3 or 4 days of terror prior to the execution and then putting them out of their misery.
