Not Worth Prop 34

Main Argument
Prop 34 deals with replacing the death sentence with life imprisonment, without any possibility for parole, to prevent killing anyone that could be considered innocent. While this proposition does bring up some good points, abolishing the death penalty means the community has to pay taxes to keep criminals in prison until they pass away. This is not only a waste of money, but also brings up questions like why should we pay to keep a murderer, rapist, burglar, etc. alive with our hard-earned money? Some law-breakers, depending on their crime, don’t deserve to have a life sentence. People need to realize that this money should be used towards education and city prosperity rather than on the lives of convicts.
