The death penalty will not bring back lost loved ones. The death penalty does not stop, or even reduce violent crime. Bringing it back would simply be a step backwards to satisfy vengeful, immoral, people who think 'eye-for-an-eye' is still a good idea (Oddly often Christians, whose own Jesus Christ denounced the practice). No, the death penalty should not be reinstated. However, if they wanted to increase the maximum sentencing to make those worst people rot in jail longer, I'd have no problem with that. Or reducing the 'comforts' that prisoners enjoy.
