These days, there is a lot of debate about several punishments. One has been used on terrorism suspects to force them to give information. This tactic is called "waterboarding" by its critics, and "enhanced interrogation" by its proponents. Those who oppose it believe it is torture and does not result in good information, since the detainee will say anything to make the pain stop. Those who support it believe it is not torture and makes the detainee give information he might not have given otherwise.

The other punishment that is highly debated is supermax solitary confinement, where an inmate is kept away from all other humans and locked in a cell 23 hours a day (one hour for exercise, also alone). There is some evidence that such constant isolation can cause severe psychological problems later on. But those who believe in it say the people confined to supermax are brutal criminals who should never get out again and deserve this kind of total isolation.

Is the death penalty the best punishment for dangerous criminals?

The effectiveness of the death penalty as a punishment for dangerous criminals is a highly debated topic. Proponents argue that it serves as a deterrent and delivers justice for heinous crimes, while opponents contend that it fails to effectively deter crime and risks executing innocent individuals. Additionally, ethical concerns surrounding state-sanctioned death and the potential for systemic biases complicate the argument. Overall, whether it is the best punishment depends on one's values regarding justice, deterrence, and human rights.
