Rejected petition Bring back the death penalty in great Briton for convicted killers. It would save millions a year that could help pay the country's debt off

More details

With the growing number of killers put in our prisons every year. Why not save millions and bring back the death penalty. It would free up space in prisons and the money saved from paying to keep them could be spent paying off the country's debt. Killers today get off way to easy. A life for a life it should be. The police don't make mistakes anymore so it should be brought back!!
