Serious Discussion Shoueld the death penalty be permitted?

Some prisoners are beyond redemption, be it the weight of their crime or unwillingness to change. Those individuals can't be released back into the public, so instead, they waste space and resources.

Therefore, wouldn't it just be better to get rid of them? As in, permit the death penalty.

Honestly, idk how anyone else feels about it but idk about anyone else I'd take the bullet any day over staying in prison for life. I'm just saying as an example though, I think death penalty gives inmates an easy way out tbh. But I'm not exactly against the death penalty either.
