I don't agree with killing people as a punishment at all- it makes the authoroties who allow it just as bad as the murderer.
No it doesn't. He killed for no reason. The people he killed where innocent., they had done nothing wrong. For that he deserves to be punished.

Prison should be a horrible place, with nothing for prisoners to do but sit and think about what they've done. Instead they have tv's and entertainment and gyms and things to do. That is not right.
