Which is more humane: capital punishment or
life imprisonment? 2 paragraphs explaining why.

In my opinion, capital punishment is much more humane. When you sentence someone to life in prison, that is far worse than ending their suffering with a quick execution.

That person is forced to live the rest of their life in a tiny, uncomfortable prison cell. Everyday they repeat the same tasks over and over. It is tourture to whoever is sentenced to it, but on the other hand, if they get the electric chair, it's over like that. Much faster, less suffering.

- "the die is cast; i have consented to return if we are not destroyed. thus are my hopes blasted by cowardice and indecision; i come back ignorant and disappointed. it requires more philosophy than i possess to bear this injustice with patience. i have lost my hopes of utility and glory; i have lost my friend."
