- ... from abortion to gun control, but capital punishment has been one of the most hotly contested issues in recent decades.

It is irrevocable because it removes those punished from society permanently, instead of temporarily imprisoning ... in one of five ways: firing squad, hanging, gas chamber, electrocution, and lethal injection. These methods of execution compared to those of the past are not meant for torture, but meant for punishment for the crime.
