Opposition to the death penalty pretty much has shaped my political worldview.

*They will not re-offend
*They will not "Theoretically" cost more money to house and feed
*They will not be an emotional or financial drain on their friends and family for the next 30 odd years
*They will never injure another prisoner or guard
*You're creating a net gain in the average morality of the population (albeit .0000001%)
*It's less horrifying (to some) than life in prison with no parole
*They will not temp another prisoner or guard into any other illegal action
*They deserve it
*If there is an aggrieved party, they will get revenge/justice, (it's the same to me)
*Assuming that the syst em is impartial and impeccably correct, it is a deterrent for others who might be on the fence about killing their wives/pregnant girlfriends etc.
Nobody can or can't prove the actual deterrent effect because we've never had a system that is clearly impartial and correct, but if you're talking purely theory, those are my reasons why execution is useful. Some are undeniable truths, some are clearly impossible to prove at this or maybe any time, and some are matters of personal ethics and morality. This is just PURE thought experiment.
Those reasons suck.
