'Dead Man Walking: How the Death Penalty is totally Biased\r'

'My placement on the dying penalization is that it is completely dirty and an unjust musical arrangement. Throughout the whole novel we construe how the death penalty was strictly enforced more(prenominal) in the south than in any new(prenominal) part of the nation. The worst part of this was that it was most rigorously used against people who killed â€Å"white” people. The death penalty was a system that was racial and alike socioeconomic sloping, making it totally unfair and star-sided.\r\nIn a state that had the highest misery stats in the nation, it was pretty high-priced to afford a well-prep ard lawyer. By not having a well-prepared lawyer you had to rely on public defenders which normally had many clients to defend that made it impossible to call into question inmates before trials, much less do time-consuming investigations that peachy cases required; thus the reason wherefore ninety-nine percent of death-row inmates were poor. The government had basica lly created devil types of separate, unjust legal systems: one for the rich, in which everything was portion into consideration, every opinion was heard, and where you could buy your freedom; and one for the rich, in which hasty guilty pleas and brief hearings are the rule and appeals are the exceptions.\r\nRead this â€Å"The Secrets of Haiti’s reinforcement Dead”\r\nRacism was a very plumping part of this penal system. As both Prejean and husbandman pointed out in the novel, the death penalty biased people who committed murders against white people and that in the south nine times out of hug drug when the death penalty is sought it’s because the dupe is â€Å"white”. Around seventy-five percent of death-row inmates were there for killing â€Å"whites”. Even the Supreme Court acknowledged, in McCleskey vs. Kemp (1987), that there exists racial bias in capital sentencing and that killers of â€Å"whites” are more likely to receive the death penalty than killers of â€Å"blacks”. These are the type of things that made this system prejudice towards â€Å"blacks”, not only that but it also demoralized their life.\r\nThroughout the novel Prejean strives to do the opponent of what society is doing to these men, which is humanize them. The humanization of both Willie and Sonnier real made my stance against the death penalty a lot stronger. It just shows that not everyone is perfect and no matter how big or small everyone give have flaws. I do agree with punishment but it doesn’t give the government the redress to choose whether you live or die.\r\n'
