Should Child Molesters face the Death Penalty?

I have mixed feelings on this. I really don't think that there should be a single form of sentencing for child abuse charges, because every case is different and the punishment handed down should reflect the severity of the crime. Personally, I don't think the death penalty should come into play at all (even though it isn't legal here). I'm of the opinion that the death penalty is an easy way out for prisoners and justice isn't served by allowing the prisoner to die instead of serving out a lengthy prison sentence.

Rehabilitation shouldn't be discounted. Having visited a jail before, one thing I've come to realise is that there are some genuinely decent people who are serving time in jails across the country (as hard as that may be to believe). Yes, they've done something stupid to be put into jail in the first place, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they don't have good values or a conscience. People can come out of jail as much better people than when they first went in. Look, some people are never going to recover to a level where they can function in society, however that's not to say that everyone who has been charged with child abuse is the same way.

Depending on the circumstances, they should serve a very lengthy sentencing in jail (15/20 years - life) for what they've done, however rehabilitation should be offered as well.
