I used to be VERY pro capital punishment. But in the last few years I have done a 180.

Killing is wrong. The fact that it is government sanctioned does not make it right. Also, far too many innocent people are convicted of capital offenses.

Eliminate capital punishment for all crimes not caught on video, Also add more cameras to prisons and make prison rape a capital crime

I am against governments deciding to kill people. A Government should be better than murder.
I also believe that by some actions it is possible for a human to forfeit their right to exist. And am totally fine with those people being killed.
So... It's a conundrum.

It's difficult. I believe certain people absolutely deserve it but also worry mistakes will be made and people will wrongly be put to death. If we could be 100% certain that no one was wrongly killed, then I'm for it. I just don't know if we can trust the state to do that.

From my opinion it should be used only as a lat resort in extreme cases. Here, extreme is meant as "crimes like murder, mass-murder, rape (in the old sense of the term)" with no other way to permanently stop the offender in question from repeating their crimes again and again."

I'd like to see it increased in scope (IE - used for more than just murder crimes), but decreased in terms of actual occurrences.
