I am going to paint a picture for you. You came home no lights are on, what do you do? Turn on the light. Switch it from of to on and when your done in that room on to off. It's a simple easy decision and it doesn't take any effort at all. That is how easy it is to kill a man under the death penalty, the flip of a switch off to on.
A recent story involving a little boy killing another boy happened it happens all the time. He can get life-without parole and or a death sentence. So it begs the question should a young boy get either of these sentences? I say no.
Life without parole is saying to the kid hey you have no future. Prison is more about rehabilitation than it is about punishment for me because 90% maybe more of those people are going to be released eventually. So in order for them not to go back they have to be molded into everyday citizens. If you condemn a child to life without parole... That is a sixty year sentence a lifetime. That is all that kid will know. What will he do when he gets out? Most likely die or go back to prison. Honestly, all he knows is the prison life the land behind bars, to him there is no other side of the fence.
A death sentence is even worse. Talking about no future I'm glad I'm not the one telling a boy he is going to die. They give those men who are going to die a "last supper" what is a kid going to eat? Fruity Pebbles!
The human brain does not fully develop till you are in your 20's. How can a young child be considered being able to make a logical decision? They can't so you can't possibly find it logical to condemn them to an adult sentence. I would not call a child on death row and no future, justice.
