Are you for or against the death penalty?

I think, it depends upon the crime and if there is absolutely no doubt as to the guilt of the person. Some people will continue to kill as long as they can get away with it. Serial killers, serial rapist, those who plan and cold heartedly take someone's life, and especially those who would commit these, and other crimes against children, the most vulnerable and innocent of society, should be dealt with as quickly as possible. I have no sympathy for anyone who is executed because they committed unspeakable acts against a child. I can feel sympathy for the family of the person facing execution, but I also feel for the families of their victims. The family of the prisoner has years to come to terms with the impending death of their loved one, the family of the victims, however, simply have to learn to deal with it after the fact. At the same time, if I were faced with the task of actually helping send someone to death row, I am not sure I could do it...I guess it would depend upon what they did and the circumstances involved. For crimes committed in the heat of the moment...most of the time, I think life imprisonment would suffice.
