Do not abolish Keeps bad people off the streets. They took one life they are very much capable of taking another. An eye for an eye. It makes sense. Gives closure for whoever the murderer killed. If someone you knew died you would want their murder to pay for what they have done. Sitting in a jail cell would not do the family or the murdered justice. Crime rate would decrease, criminals would have a reason not to kill, death. They wouldn't want to take a life just to die themselves
