The Death Penalty Is Contemporarily Weak
Envision this situation, you're minding your own business, maybe having a friend over and watching TV, when a news broadcast interrupts your station. It warns of a serial killer being on the loose and police are searching every area in hopes of catching him. You get a little nervous, but after a while, you think to yourself, 'ah, forget it, he's probably caught by now.' After a long night, your friend goes home and you take a bath, brush your teeth, and get some sleep. After waking up in the morning, you find your parents dead, dismembered upon their bed, blood red with bullets wounds on their head. Of course they were killed by the serial killer in the area.
Panicking, you call the police to inform them what happened, and shortly-after, you call your friend as well to share the horrible news, but she doesn't answer the phone. Worried, you put on your slippers and rush to her house down the street, only to find her dead with a slit throat. She too has been murdered by the serial killer. You subsequently return home and wait for the police to arrive. They come and you inform them of your deceased friend as they put your parents in the ambulance, and later your friend. You tell them about the serial killer on the news, but they tell you he's already been arrested this morning.
Later on, during his court case, he gets tried, but insists that he didn't kill your family and friend, but DNA tests and evidence prove otherwise. Therefore, he gets a life sentence and justice is served! However, years later, although it took a long time, you began to get over your family and friend's death, but after turning to 'truTV,' you see him on a TV documentary that focused on American prisons, and learn because he's been their for a while, he has adapted to prison and it doesn't seem like 'punishment' anymore, but rather home. Although under police surveillance, for his good behavior, he has earned his personal space that he can roam for a set amount of time, he plays basketball with the other prisoners, he lifts weights and watches TV in his cell. Even for his good behavior, he's given his own shower, but of course with police surveillance. (They have their backs turned, well . . . mostly.)
Mainly, after killing your parents and friend, he probably didn't like prison at first, but he appears to be enjoying himself. Do you think this guy even deserves to live? I don't. For taking a life, he's faced with two choices: Go to prison and become worse while surrounded by other criminals that are worse than him, or behave well and get treated with respect by a few inmates and the cops and prison guards. Personally, if the perpetrator killed my family, I'd make sure he gets the worse possible punishment, because surely, if he can take an innocent life, he can take his own life as well because his selfish needs are of little importance. Plus, the more effective way to prevent killing is by executing cold-blooded murderers, given they will never kill again.
If someone innocent is convicted, the law should not be blamed in that situation, but rather the court because, if the crime potentially results in a death sentence, the court should work hard as to GUARANTEE the defendant is innocent or guilty. Execution is not cruel and unusual punishment because it can be utilized as a catalyst to make people obey the law. People see death as the worst possible thing, so even if a large number of people still commit serious crimes, threatening them with punishment by death carries the potential to reduce the number of crimes regarding the serious criminal offenses. Many people in contemporary society cannot help themselves in the sense of controlling their sexual urges, in which they commit either rape or any sexual motivated crime such as kidnapping for means of sexual assault. Therefore, I believe the government should recuperate medieval traditions and re-implement torture devices to ensure justice is served, and crime decreases or stops for good. Here are some the tortured devices that should be introduced into the subject of capital punishment.
1. The Judas Chair.
Said to have been utilized by the Spanish Inquisition, the Judas Chair is well-suitable for rapists. 
The Judas Chair's potential punishment would probably be better executed within a heated room. A pyramid-shaped seat, the victim is forced to sit upon the top, anus or vaginal first, to cause extreme pain. Because rapists often take away one's freedom and cause pain to their victim, the Judas Chair is the perfect device for showing the perpetrator how it feels to be penetrated against his or her will. Also, the morbidity associated with the chair could possibly influence people not to commit rape due to fear of sitting on the seat that is the Judas Chair.
2. The Human Oven.
Though not an actual medieval torture device, this means of capital punishment I thought of this very second is perfect for executing murders. We all have the right to live, so taking one's life is the ultimate offense. Thus, the perpetrator will pay the ultimate price. The subject is placed into a small room with burners and heaters amongst the ceiling and walls. Firstly, the heat is turned on low during the beginning, but gets hotter as time passes. Eventually, the subject would slowly roast to death as he realizes he shouldn't have committed a crime. The meat could then be used for animal consumption.
3. The Inquisitional Chair.
Literally a chair containing thousands of needles, the Inquisitional Chair is a perfect enhancement for the contemporary electric chair, which is too comfortable and pussy to be considered actual 'punishment.' With the Inquisitional Chair, simply sit the naked subject upon its surface and add electricity. The subject would then suffer intense pain caused by the needles and electricity. Also, because the needles are made of metal, the electricity increases in power, causing the subject to jump around more, which impales the needles in a much faster degree. Better yet, I believe the government should have it's limits on the 8th amendment altogether. If it were dropped however, someone could get life for jaywalking, but lets not drop it, let's add limits. With limits such as providing the 'serious' punishments to the serious crimes, crime would be less common because, man, if you ask me, 'lethal' injection is too pussy of an execution.
