In my opinion there are arguments for and against this suggestion.
Strict punishment can deter offenders from committing serious crimes. They will be afraid of being sent to prison or being executed. Such punishments as the death penalty, longlife unprisonment can be a worning and of course, will take rapists, murderers, assassins from people's community. We will have less deaths, assassinations and robberies. Our society will be a quiet place to live in.
On the other hand, severe punishment can lead to deaths of inoccent people as very often people, who have not committed crimes can be sentenced to death penalty. Moreover, our system of punishment is not ideal as doing time in prison can make people more agressive. Because of violent setuation in prisons 85% of prisoners commit harder crimes. Some reforms in panishment can be suggested, such as doing community service and giving a suspended sentence.
All things considered it could be said that there are a lot of points for and against severe punishment but society should think properly before sending people to prison and executing them (taking away their lives).
