Death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole for convicted rapist and child molesters

We need harsh punishments for rapists and child molesters. It's tragic to say, but you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual abuse. I was 7 years old when I was molested by the neighbor. Rarely does a day go by that the sickening memory of that old man violating me haunts me and it will haunt me till my death. I believe that harsher punishments such as the death penalty or life in prison will lower sexual abuse. Please sign my petition.
