Charles Dickens Response

Charles Dickens felt like the executions were no longer about serving justice for the victims or giving out punishments to the criminals but more like for entertainment purposes and he was against it. In the article I read that was up to 30,000 people gathering together to just watch the death of someone like they were watching a play or show being performed for the public. I think Charles would be more pleased with the fact that executions are still done behind private walls and it is not considered an public attraction. Also the fact that only few gets to witness the execution of the criminal.
