Action Reflection prepared by Brandon Norwood

I chose to write a prayer on the death penalty for many reasons. First of all, a prayer can stay with a person for a life. A person can recite a prayer at specific times and pray for loved ones when they might need it the most. The words or specific phrases of a prayer can lead to inspiration to others that can live with someone for a lifetime. This prayer will have effects on people because it has deep thoughts and meanings. They are intended for not just people on death row, but their families, guards that work on death row, and the lawyers and judges that help make a decision of whether someone will receive the death penalty. Hopefully, the words and phrases in the prayer will lead to inspiration to others. I will continue and strive to learn more about the death penalty as I grow older and more mature. I want to help the families that have a loved one on death row and try and make it a more positive experience for them. I not only want to learn but I want to teach and tell people what I know about capital punishment so they can hear the point of view of this injustice from a young adult.
