Redeeming women in death rows

Published

I WOULD like to make an earnest request to the Supreme Court to spare the lives of all those women who are facing capital punishment.

Some may have committed very heinous crimes but the one thing the court must not overlook is why not give them an opportunity more to become a better person in their lives.

Execution is not the solution but edification is the right way going forward. Once we allow them to re-enter our society, they can, with skill, be a very useful contributor to it. With love and care things can change for the better. Besides, everyone deserves a second chance to resurrect himself or herself
