| Not to argue in favor of capital punishment, but I don't see how it costs less to kill prisoners than to support them for life.
Let's see...
Noose: $10, and it's reusable.
Gallows: $200 one-time fee? :)
Bag over Prisoner's Face: $5
Supporting Him for a Few Years: Not much.
Now for the lifers...
A Lifetime of Food: A lot compared to a few years.
Everything Else that I Can't Think Of: Probably adds to how much more lifers cost to support.
Haha, that's how I see it...So the cost of handling appeals is what puts the cost of sentencing people to death past that of supporting lifers? Some costly appeals...
<--- Stupid. :( |
