Captial punishment

I just read the death in Texas and it very sad. it is written by Steve Earle about his inmate Jonathan Nobles. Jonathan was sentence to death penalty for the crime that he committed but he was a changed man when he died. He truly regretted the crime that he committed even though it is too late that he cant go back to change it.He was able to change due to rehabilitation so the author is arguing instead of the death penalty we should try to change their minds. in this case Jonathan was good example if we still have he might be able to tell us how to get others or we could have learn from him.
