IMO, the death penalty should be in place for those who commit the most vicious crimes and are convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. However, I think there should be a 'rehabilitation' provision in place. Prime example: Tookie Williams. He's done some pretty admirable things while in prison and I doubt any would say he is not a changed man.
However, the death penalty should be available for people like Charles Manson. People who clearly show no signs of remorse and no signs of wanting to be rehabilitated.
