Deadline #4 HM #3

Writing Project #1 "Writing a Research Proposal"

Eng102-7891 (Hybrid)

20 Sept. 2007

There are groups of Americans, that believe and fight that execution are cruel and inhumane. They strongly believe that all man and women should not face any harsh consequences for their actions. Currently their are a total of 3357 prisoners, 3298 men and 59 females siting on death row, waiting for their execution date. However there are also Americans that do believe in: if you intentional commit a crime such as take someones life "murder", or take part/aid, that individual should also lose their life. (Eye for an Eye / Life for Life)

My research question is: Should America question execution? This topic is a controversy in America, because their are groups/prisoner appealing their execution. Although most American do not think about execution until it effects their life. Whether a individual commit murder of their love one, or friend. I am not exempt from this issue, up until my current profession I was undecided, just unaware how many distributed individual there are in society.

I currently work for a correctional facility in Arizona. I work with the individual that can not function in society. On Sept.16,2007 a 3 year old boy life was taken from him. The 3 year old mother's lover, "another women" confessed to child abuse. This Jane Doe confessed to Police Department stating, that she threw the 3 year old across the room, which caused his death. The mother of the child and her partner were known meth users. Most people say 3 years is a short life, that wasn't the case for this little boy. It was 3 long agonizing years, fill with touchier. He was beaten, burned, not to mention the mental, and physical abuse. Day in and out this little boy was a hitting bag, for multiple people in his life. Everyone involved in responding to this call had to be debriefed. On Sept.18,2007 Jane Doe was arrested and brought into the facility, I work at.

How can America's be so blind and condone such crimes. This women took this little boys life, without any remorse. I personal feel that this individual had no concern for another persons life, why should she have a say so in her life (especially a child, who can not protect their-self). When that little boy was crying, because of the pain she conflicted on him. She did not stop, she continued abusing him until his body could not take it any more. So why should society allow her to live.

The purpose of this paper is to wake up Americans and inform them of why these individual who were found guilty for there crimes. Should not be speared their life. Eye for an Eye - Life for Life!

I strongly believe in execution. I fail to see the point in fighting for an individual who have no respect for life. These individuals took another humans life. Why should I listen to their plea to live. They didn't listen to the person pleading for their life, no they were cold hearted any killed them.

My audience is society (Americans) who are unaware, and the undecided. My ultimate objective goal in this research is to inform society. Hopefully answer questions society may have. I believe a major limitations is a one on one interview with a prisoner, siting on death row. How ever the opportunities I have is experience in this field of work. I have first hand experience dealing with inmates, how they act, think, and do. A major challenge I see with this issue, is trying to have a open mind.

I was brought up in church. I was taught right and wrong at an early age. I strongly believe in: for every action, their is a reaction. I was raised to respect and value all life. I was taught to think of the consequences in the things you do in life. There are so many Americans that don't think about execution, until it effects their life. The average American is so caught up in their personal life they are unaware, of this issue. Unless you work in this type of profession every day, see first hand how sick people can be. I never really thought about criminals, murders, rapist, child abusier etc. until I enter the world of law enforcement. I work with all types of inmates, charged with varies crimes. There is one thing they all share, they blame someone else for their mistake they've made in life. Working in this type of atmosphere week after week, is a eye opening experience. I'm interested in this issue because I deal, and work with these individuals, who have murder or on the path to be murders. I also plan to show society that yes there are always two sides to a story. However the ultimate price in taking a life, should be your life. I hope to achieve this goal by the end of this class.
