  • If no other reason than because they fuck it up constantly. They wrongfully-convict. They ignore evidence in both directions. They fast-track to boost conviction rates. They subject suspects to decades of appeals in barbaric conditions. They use archaic methods of execution. They bungle the executions. They use them as political stunts.

    There are plenty of reasons to be against the death penalty, and there are thousands of reasons that the American “justice system” is irreparably broken, but a starting point is that if anyone fucked up their job as often as the “justice system” fucks up its own death penalty, they would be fired for incompetence.

    From there, the list goes on. A government that serves its people should be focusing on rehabilitation, not revenge. A government shouldn’t ignore the fact that punishment isn’t a functional deterrent, no matter the scale. A government shouldn’t be able to use a captive population as slave labor.
