Jail sentences for criminals

In Costa Rica and other countries, there are different kinds of punishment for criminal behavior. Some examples are felony record, jail time and in some cases death penalty is an option for criminal punishment. Also the different crimes have distinct penalties which most of them ends in a court with jail sentences.
The first example is death penalty as a punishment for an offense or several crimes in the last years. Some crimes that can convert in a death penalty are known as capital crimes which can be measured by the quantity of crimes or the type of crime committed. In the last 10 years this sentence had been abolished by 95 countries. Now only 58 nations practice this kind of penalty for some exceptional circumstances such as wartime, terrorism and extreme cases of murder and rape. In the last years the use of this penalty had decreased because of the specific crimes that can be punished with death sentence.
The death penalty suffers from a lot of problems because of the characteristics of it and the society thoughts. The death sentence has a lot of deterrence including the political ideology which can be the same of the society sometimes. The cultural religion is one of the most important ideology for the society because they try to follow their rules an thoughts. At the same time some characteristics that help to the decrease of this penalty are the cast of the development of the penalty. The mistake that they can commit with innocent people because of the lack of proves for the victim and the arbitrariness which can be wrong. For that reason, many countries decide to put away this penalty because of the many problems that can occur.
Another kind of punishment or penalty for the crimes is the jail sentence for distinct crimes but in the last years the most common has become the drunk driver penalties. The act of get drunk and drive has become a common trend for the younger people that are able to drink. Some penalties that the drunk drivers can face are jail time, probation, installation of a ignition interlock system, loss of employment and more. The scariest for those people is the jail sentences which can last from 1 to 2 days in jail and at the end it will be a felony record which can cause a lot of problems in the future. Unfortunately, some people don’t take seriously the penalties of the different crimes mostly the drunk drivers which are the principal problematic in a lot of countries.
At the end, we need to think about the crimes that are committed in our country or in others. The main idea is to analyze the different penalties according to their respective crime to see of is the right penalty and if it’s going to accomplish. For that reason, the people need to be scared a little bit facing harsh penalties and acting properly to avoid the punishment and become better as society.
