Reasons Why The Death Penalty is Wrong

In response to the prompt “Reasons why the death penalty is wrong,” the author argues that the death penalty should never exist in the first place, that it is morally wrong, and that it will be the doom of America. Additionally, the author argues that the death penalty is racist, that it punishes the poor, that it condemns the innocent to die, that it is not a deterrent to violent crime, and that it is “cruel and unusual punishment.” The author provides evidence to support these assertions.
