The first reason why the death penalty is a justifiable form of punishment is because it guarantees public protection. Mandery (147) maintains that the main appeal of the death penalty is that it guarantees that capital offenders will never get their way back to the streets. In addition, the death penalty addresses the potential loopholes associated with the prison system; in this regard, the death penalty guarantees that capital offenders are incapacitated completely and will never escape out prison. In the light of this view, Mandery (147) argues that the death penalty is a surer sanction. In addition, Mandery (148) argues that the only way that the streets can be free of capital offenders is through the death penalty, which in turn, guarantees public safety and protection.
