Of course we should keep the death penalty. I believe we are way too lenient with it though. For the most part, USA uses the lethal injection. This method of death is totally painless for the person it is given to due to the fact that they are put under before the injection is given. Serial killers should not die like this. We should delve into their minds with intense days-long interrogations and discover their darkest fears and use these fears to kill them.
I know this sounds kind of like something out of a science-fiction novel, but I think it could work. Another intresting thing to do I did read in a sci-fi novel (Chung Kuo series by David Wingrove) is to enforce a very unique type of death penalty: If someone is found guilty of murder, then that person and all of his family to the third generation will be killed. I forgot how though!
