writ of habeas corpus is a writ that directs the person detaining a prisoner to bring him
or her before a judicial officer to determine the lawfulness of the imprisonment.
Justifications for the death penalty are collectively referred to as the retentionist position . The
three retentionist arguments are (1) just deserts, (2) revenge, and (3) protection.  Opposition includes:  Innocent people have been executed, lack of proven deterrence, discrimination, arbitrary, just desserts, expense, revenge, etc.
