Death Penalty YES 100%
Anyone who kills, or rapes another person, he or she should die because they're mentally sick.
and then cremate their bodies
and then the rest of the world won't have to put up with their crap!!
and people can just live happy!!!!!
and live in peace
Death to criminals is not a problem at all.
There's good people and bad weird people in this world.
I also believe in abortion.

that is more than people that run regular lives make in a year, and inmates dont own houses or cars!
i think you got some numbers mixed up........

i also thought that was a high number at first, but i mean when you think about it i guess i can see how it could get to be expensive. for starters the government pays top dollar for most everything. then you have the cost of the prison itself and everything that goes with it divided between a few thousand prisoners. that includes hundreds of employees from security to administration (with contractors somewhere in there too), high security, health care (which is better than most regular people have), 3 meals a day for each prisoner, electricity and water that runs 24/7, etc. and in any large system like this there will be a high level of waste. all of that factors into the final number and it really does add up quickly.

Depends on the inmate and what level of security you're talking about. If you talk total cost, it's well over $40,000 (Guards, walls, facilities, upkeep, feeding/clothing/maintaining the inmate... $40K per person is pretty conservative depending on the state). The other thing you have to factor in is the cost to not only house them, but to prosecute the cases, which is usually over $200,000 per year of investigation and legal prosecution, and then you also have to consider the cost of appeals.
The reasons behind NOT executing prisoners is also well beyond financial:

Ask yourself how much your state would have been hit for in a wrongful death suit especially when it could be proved that someone was actively trying to get someone convicted that they knew was innocent.
