Death penalty has attracted a lot of debate from society, with some people arguing against it, while others supporting it. As a form of punishment, some justice systems death penalty punishes a collective number of capital offenders who are guilty. Whereas, the definition of capital offenders differs, many offenders who are guilty of taking the life of others fall into the category of capital offenders. Despite that fact that capital offenders attract capital judgment decisions such as the death penalty, there are strong arguments that people have raised against this practice. Some people view that the death penalty is barbaric, expensive, and executed in an arbitrary way. Some people also cite death penalty as a cause of psychological burden to the executers, prone to errors, and a mark of death and not life. Death penalty also causes sorrow to the families of victims, create unfairness, and fails as deterrence. With better ways of punishing capital offenders, there are many reasons justice systems should stop practicing death penalty, but employ other humane alternatives. Death penalty is a barbaric act of punishing capital offenders as compared to other options like life imprisonment (Banner 169). The practice of the death penalty is a cruel form of ending the life of capital offenders, because justice systems take their life with no thought about it. Today, it is true that the death penalty has evolved from severe brutality to more decent forms of taking the life of those sentenced to death. However, that notion that justice systems can end the life of a capital offender makes the practice brutal and barbaric. Some decades ago, this practice was a key attraction for all people in society, particular those who were interested in seeing others being shot or hanged. Despite the public attention to such events, the practice still displays the brutality that offenders receive when justice systems subjects them to this practice. With the society embracing a peaceful society where brutality is outdated, there are many reasons why justice systems should abolish the death penalty. Indeed, the end of the death penalty will indicate the lack of brutality in justice systems and a willingness to end brutal indicates an approach aimed at providing justice. The practice of the death penalty cost justice systems needs a lot of money as compared to other forms of punishments (Ann 7). Justice systems that practice the death penalty always follow a long and stringent process to verify that suspects for capital crimes are genuinely guilty or not. The process of determining whether capital offenders are guilty or not often takes a long time and involves many jurors or lawyers working on the case. As a result, the entire process become expansive and a significant vote head that requires excessive fund (Pojman and Reiman 62). The cost of delivering capital punishment is a source of the extra burden to justice systems that may be grappling with limited funds to address their needs (Death Row in Pennsylvania 14). With more States looking for ways of saving on cost, ending capital punishments remains as one of the best options to reduce the cost of this capital punishment. In addition, ending capital punishment will also reduce the cost that families of offenders who have to contend with while hoping for the release of the loved ones Death penalty is a significant cause of psychological burden that can lead to detrimental effect on judges and families of the suspects. When compared to other forms of punishment, death penalty affects those who are executing the orders to end the life of charged criminals, as well as families whose members face this practice. Without doubt, death penalty causes a conflict between the moral values of judges and other professionals in the criminal justice system. For instance, judges who hold religious values that condemn the death penalty will find it extremely challenging to issue a verdict where they sentence suspects to the death penalty. This is because such a ruling will compromise of their religious values. However, such judges must be able to work as the justice systems expects them to do, and this is always a cause of psychological burden (Berry 89). Because of this reason, death penalty can cause many woes to judges and make them suffer from psychological torture. The same case applies to families of suspects who face the death penalty. In cases where judges sentence criminal offenders to death, there are chances that families of suspects will experience psychological burden of having to bear with the demands of the situations. Family members who will have to wait for hearings, or wait for appeal cases to be heard can also feel this burden. Certainly, this psychological burden on judges and families is a valid reason for the justice system to abolish the death penalty
