Is it ever justified?
In my opinion, it's not. When we kill killers, we become them. No matter what crime someone has committed, the death penalty should never be an option.

No one is "worth killing". Even a murderer is a human. And every human has a right to live. And that right is unalienable, and should never be taken away.[/quote] That murderer lost that right to be a human when he abducted let's say 5 people. And he tortures them to death. When you keep these types of people in prison there's a chance they can escape and once they do. They are most likely going to kill again. By executing these people you are removing a threat from society. Also let's take that guy that killed those 2 Fireman. During the 80's he killed is grandma and got parole. Guess what he did when he was 6o something? Let's right he set his house on fire for a trap to kill people. These types of people should not be allowed to live. They are a threat to everybody. If they escape or get paroled there is a chance they can hurt or kill someone. They also are a threat to other inmates and the prison staff. If you have someone that tortured 5 people to death. They're not going to think otherwise about hurting/killing a guard if they get the chance to. [/quote]There's a better solution. Instead of forsaking our morality, we just need to build taller prison walls.[/quote] Which can still be climbed and descended if they have the materials.
