"The Death Penalty"

Some people say the death penalty is reasonable in certain circumstances, But i don't think the death penalty should ever be considered. My reason behind that is the most common reason for a person receiving the death penalty is for committing murder, how can you kill someone  for killing someone what type of message are you sending out? Is it okay to kill someone or isn't it? Yes killing someone is wrong but killing a person who committed murder doesn't change the situation it just hurts more innocent people such as the person who is on death row family. why make them suffer when they didn't have any thing to do with it. I think the person should spend the rest of their life in a cell by them selves. BUT KILLING IS NEVER THE ANSWER.
