There are various opinions on this subject. Obviously, some are for it and others against it. Your own personal opinion is the answer.
Some of the significant arguments about the death penalty are, firstly that if an innocent person is executed by mistake or because of an abuse of the legal system, there is no way to bring such a person back to life; the mistake can never be corrected. In comparison, if a person is wrongly imprisoned, they can be let out of prison, which at least partially corrects the mistake (although that doesn't return the time that was lost in prison).
Then, on the other side of the argument, it is also true that people who are sent to jail may still commit additional crimes, either in jail (for example by attacking other prisoners or guards) or in the outside world, if they escape, or if they are parolled. Whereas, once someone is executed, you can be sure that they will never commit another crime.
A tremendous amount of tax dollars are spent on imprisoning people. The death penalty can make justice either cheaper, if it is done quickly and efficiently, or more expensive, if there are long drawn-out appeals.
There are some people who have committed such horrible, monstrous crimes that no penalty short of death seems sufficient.
