Life imprisonment is a good alternative to capital punishment
We talk about punishments for the criminals, thieves or people who commit serious mistakes. Do we ever ask ourselves that what is the purpose of these punishments? Is it always necessary to punish people for every mistake? And what are the parameters to decide which punishment is better for which crime.
For
- If a person commits a mistake which has a deep impact on the victim or victim’s family then life imprisonment is an appropriate punishment.
- Capital punishment takes the life of a person which is not a real justice to any crime.
- Life imprisonment gives a chance to the criminals to realize their mistakes.
Against
- Life imprisonment is not a good alternative to capital punishment as no mistake is big enough for life imprisonment.
- Capital punishment is a best way to pass a message to the society.
- It removes dangerous criminals from the society making it a safer place for the people.
- It will help remove the discrimination, which should be corrected by giving capital punishments to murderers.
Life imprisonment is still far better than capital punishment because it is better to live then die as everyone loves to live.

- The capital punishment is a best punishment in an immediate effect...If that person who done the serial crime he should be punish...but it should be do with an immediate effect...IF HE GOT A 12 year punishment in jail and after that going to do capital punishment is not fair...because that 12 year may be changed his life...and he got punishment with that time...so thete is no further need to capital punishment...if that person who did the crime he is deserve capital punishment with immediate effect

- Capital punishment is too less for crimes like gang rapes and murder( not self defence murders).
These criminals should be stoned till they die, that too in public, so that all such criminals thinks 1000 times before committing such crimes. - RE: Life imprisonment is a good alternative to capital punishment -Kajal Dwivedi (09/24/15)
- From my point of view we give a punishment to someone so that they can learn something from their mistakes and if one will be sentenced as death then i think there is no meaning of punishing him or her. So, we should give them at-least a chance to make them learn something better and realise the effect of his or her crime.

- Dear friends in my opinion life imprisonment would be a better solution for any mistakes or crimes rather than giving a capital punishment. We should look through our soft corners of the heart that a person hanged till death such as in the case of accused yakub memon has also his family with completely dis heartened full of sorrows who wasn't giving support to yakub while committing a crime.
People doing such mistakes should not sentenced to death rather than he or she can just be banished from their native town. secondly we should also provide the accused with valuable moral teachings so that their psychological thinking can change and they can repent for their mistakes. Life imprisonment for them can itself make them feel ashamed for their crimes and they would try not to commit such rash crimes again

- According to me life imprisonment is agood alternative to capital punishment.None has the right to kill others.So give punishments which will help the culprit to regret and become a new person.They should realize their fault.And make him as a good person.

- In my opinion, Life Imprisonment is better than the capital punishment bcoz a victim who had created a severe problem to the society should not be killed. He should given some time to realize his mistake. For example if we consider Yakub Menon's case he should be given chance to live in this world.He may be later realised his mistake. Anyone have no rights to kill an individual. It's the gift given by the god to us. so, victim's must be given life imprisonment to realise their mistake and live in this world.

- I have already faced a group discussion on this topic and my answer to this question was then and now is same. Yes, Life Imprisonment is a good alternative but according to me, giving Exile or Banishment from the country would be a better one. Capital punishment doesn't make a person realize of what the person has done and even not a greater impact to people who think they can do whatever they please and what can law do is just simply hang them. I believe exile or banishment from the country of such people would prevail the firmness and stiffness of the law . Moreover, Once banished supporters of such criminals would not be able to help them anymore in any wrong ways.
