Personally, I'm greatly in favor of the rehabilitation and correction approach. The point of the prison is to correct detrimental behavior so that the citizen can live a normal and successful life. With the death penalty, no one learns anything except doing that thing will result in death and we lose an individual that could have been widely beneficial if given the right tools. Not to mention the death penalty sends a confusing and troubling message to the younger generations that " murder isn't okay unless it is/ unless you're in the government. " which can be a very slippery slope!
