What is the most effective way of punishment?

Human life is very important it doesn't mater what sex you are or what you have done. If something can be fixed then that's what you should always try to do first. Capital punishment should not be used in today's society. If a person is found guilty and then later on new evidence is uncovered you can't bring that person back to life. Imprisonment should be a last resort; there are other sentencing alternatives, which can work, in the best interest of the offender and society.

Most offenders that commit murder is "out of the spur of the moment" and are very unlikely to re-offend. Instead of imprisoning and offender for the rest of his life and cost the government $80,000 a year to keep them locked up we could send him to deterrence program and also to a rehabilitation program to ensure that he is mentally stable and can be released back into society closely watched, without re-offending.

It would be much more convenient to spend our money on preventing the offenders from re-offending then to just send them straight to prison. Prison is an ineffective way of punishment, instead of preventing the offender from re-offending
