In the U.S., the rates of innocent people who are wrongly imprisoned and put on death row are increasing. According to The National Coalition in US from 1976 to 2015, “1,414 people has been executed, of that 156 of them have been exonerated from death row that found innocent and released since 1973” (Innocence). Unfortunately, the statistics above show that our justice system is not always perfect. We lose our innocent people every time when the law makers do not investigate the death penalty cases accurately. The death penalty should be removed state by state because it puts the lives of innocent people at risk. The death penalty is racial discrimination and it can bring a never ending conflict between races such as black, white and Latino’s.
