It has been held in the eyes of congress and state legislatures that the death penalty is not a violation of the eight amendment's bar on cruel and unasual punishment. They also may prescribe capital punishments. They also may prescribe capital punishment for certain heinous crimes. Not all the states in the United States have the death penalty. The one who have the death penalty have age requirements.
 
        If we look at the crime statistics is it a fact that the death penalty has lower the crime rate. Murder rates are growing and execution are also rising. "The death penalty is not stopping criminals." (apgar) If the government controls weapon maybe crime will decrease. The death penalty is so that we can protect society from criminal. But they can do this by keep criminal in jail for the rest of his or her life and they are not doing any harm to society.

 
        Congress wants to execute condemned federal inmates, some of the U.S. Bureau of Prison's new $ death chamber in Terre Haute, may never be used. Reality shows that David R. Chandler, one of six federal death row inmates, did not commit the crime for death penalty. At the request of the Juctice Department, David r. Chandler was set on March 30 as execution date, although he hasn't completed his appeals process. A judge granted a stay in short order. " We had told the government that we had be filing our appeal no latter than March 31, so we don't know why they did this," says Atlantic lawyer Jack Martin, a veteran of more than a dozen capital cases. " The favorable explanation is, they are just bureaucasts who do things with out thinking. The worst motivation to attribute to them would be that they did it to play with Chandler's mind."

        When Congress reintroduced the federal penalty in 1988, in the midst of a national crime scare, it denied to specify the method of execution. " The federal death penalty is just like one more example of what a worse- than useless gimmick capital punishment is," says David Bruck of the Federal Death Penalty Resource Center." It's crowding out sober discussion of what really might work in terms of reducing crime, and it's emormously expensive."
