Rejected petition Being back capital punishment

More details

Capital punishment should be brought back for all crimes that deserve the death penalty.
Prisons are seriously overcrowded and the cost of keeping these prisoners locked up could be better used restoring Britain's communities.
Most criminals do not regret their crimes and show no remorse, the ones that suffer and would feel some justice has been done are the innocent individuals, families and friends that have been affected.
The least you should do is give the public a vote on whether to bring it back.
