Capital Punishment should it be banned or not??

I have seen News Bits in which the so called Human Rights Activists stand outside court and shout slogans against the ban on Capital Punishment.   It was quite confusing because they were in a way shouting supporting slogans against criminals like "Umesh Reddy , Dhanjay chatterjee, Mohinder Paramar"
Do you think Capital Punishments are good for the society? and yes please add if you feel that there should be Capital Punishment for a crime like Rape.

My opinion is that i support Capital Punishment and believe that there should be more such punishments just like in countries like China, Iran , USA.

I do not support capital Punishment. Speedy trials & enforcement of law would be a more viable move. I do not support capital punishment even for a heinous crime like rape for the simple reason that justice can be miscarried at times. Sometimes due to false witnesses or corruption at various levels its possible for a innocent person to B convicted. If found innocent later on , it would not be possible to reverse a death sentence !

How would you set an example if there is no Capital Punishment? I mean say if a crime is done on somebody who is very personal to you. would you want that criminal to stay alive??

I can't remember the name, but someone had said this: "I even oppose death penalty for the person who killed my own brother". I was really touched with this statement.

Jails are hate Factories. There is a very good chance that these Scum Bags who are not given Capital Punishment may corrupt others to do the same acts of Crime.

Completely agree with you and it's partly the reason why I don't support capital punishment.  I also think capital punishment is not a big enough punishment for some these ruthless criminals....doesn't death seem like an easy way out for them?  What about the suffering these criminals have caused to their victims and victim's loved ones?  With capital punishment, the punishment of these criminals ends the second they die, but the victims and their loved ones' pain continues!

if you are comparing capital punishment with lifetime achievement award...oops life term 😆 , i'd like to make a point that jails in india , at least , are not well equipped to keep dreaded criminals for a full life term, i mean its quite certain that they would be able to escape. However , thats the case with dreaded criminals , whose work is that only.

That is a factor and risk when dealing with criminals...there is that risk that they might escape and commit more crimes.  And it does cost the tax payers a lot of money to maintain these prisons.  Even with all these factors, I still don't think capital punishment is the best answer.
