Just some thoughts...
Adv.:
1) Protects the public from the worst criminals
2) More of a detterent than easy-going sentences (but is still not very effective at deterring crime)
3) In a way, it makes society stronger by removing those who would seek to hold it back
4) Is the life of a serial killer more important than 2 lives of their victims if they get free?
5) Custodial sentences often do not stick to organised criminals, like gangsters.
Disadv.:
1) Innocents sometimes killed
2) Do 2 wrongs make a right?
3) Costly and expensive
4) Defendant's family. What about them?
5) Could be difficult to decide what crimes deserve capital punishment
Anyone else got any?
