An indulgence. I think that's what you're talking about. The indulgence system is specifically Catholic, I believe, and I'm not sure if it is still in use today. Up until at least the sixteenth century (and possibly later) the Catholic Church would sell indulgences to people, basically telling the Church's followers that they could simply pay money to get time off of their sentence in purgatory or that of a friend or family member. Martin Luther, who was a Catholic monk and later became known as the father of Protestantism, was an adamant opponent of the indulgence system. This corrupt practice of selling indulgences was what led him to write his "Ninety-Five Theses" and sparked the Lutheran Reformation.

Why does Susana Martinez the mayor of New Mexico want to reinstate the death penalty?
Well, part of it is political reasons. A recent shooting death of a Hatch police officer makes severe punishment popular, and she is pushing to reinstate the death penalty for those who kill children and police officers. She is a former prosecutor, and has probably seen a lot of bad stuff. Death penalties make good deterrents, but in the end they usually end up costing the taxpayers more, because there are more appeals and legal struggles against that severe of a punishment.
