yes
It costs approximately $20,000 a year to house one inmate. It costs less than $90 for the chemicals required to preform a lethal injection.

Don't forget that you'd probably be in a pretty hardcore prison if you were even considered for the death penalty, so you'd be surrounded by crazy fucking assholes all the time for the rest of your life and they'd probably poke you in your chest EVERY DAY and make fun of you and make your life suck.
You think your cell mate would let you read your precious, "True history of the samurai" books in prison, tadao? He'd probably make you eat it with your butt
Also I dunno how high your chance of escape would be.

Yea but i think you have to count the years of housing while they are on death row, which I'm sure death row is like a fine hotel compared to the standard cost to house an inmate -- and I'm sure all the employees that deal with it get paid extra. Plus all the corruption and the judicial/investigative procedure could maybe add up. usually people are on death row for a while before they are actually executed.

I don't think "cost" should necessarily be a consideration, though. Especially since things can be done to lower the cost. That said, that statistic seems retarded. Also, given the fact that there's only so many executions (especially compared to the amount of people serving life in prison) in a year I doubt that it really adds much to the bill. If there's a hundred people executed in a year, then that's the cost of housing 300 inmates.

anyway im kind of busy right now but I'll make up a fun argument soon.

let's just compare the initial trial; the process by which a capital case arrives at sentencing compared to that of a noncapital case is radically different, with an average cost difference of about $800,000.
http://www.wsba.org/lawyers/groups/finalreport.pdf

there's too many variables to get into, the point is - it doesn't save money and with the average time on death row rising from 15-20 years to 25-30 it's becoming more and more ridiculously expensive.

elx, shoosh. I'm pretty sure most people who are sentenced to life in prison are in there for longer than 30 years, and those extra years make up for the cash spent on capital sentencing.

If the death penalty was reinstated in states where its banned, it would obviously have to be streamlined. That and I'd like to see more people sentenced to death. If you're doing life, then what's the point? The whole point of modern prisons is rehabilitation, which they fail miserably at but I digress, so why would a prisoner who is spending the rest of their life behind bars be made fit for living in society. Just kill them, and then feed their flesh to the poor.

Appeals. Mostly initiated from people who are death penalty opponents, who know nothing about the case. Stupidly, they're arguing his innocence and/or the unfairness of the trial, when it is obvious to anyone who experienced the events as they happened that he shot Officer Faulkner. As for the fairness, neither he nor his brother testified at trial. That tells you all you need to know.

You got it, bro'. There's way too much leniency built into the system. If you're going to have capital punishment for crimes, (as a deterrent?) then it makes no sense for people like Mumia to hang around manipulating people (and the system) because it gives the law no teeth.

If we're not going to change the system, then we should outlaw capital punishment. Period.

I think the reason we have capital punishment isnt so much as a deterrent. We do it because the people who are supposed to get it deserve no better.

But that was initially supposed to be the reason Capital Punishment existed in the first place ... and was listed as one of the reasons it was "brought back from the dead".

That was a long time ago, and I concede that I may be misremembering events.

Ok, that made me laugh.

So which country has the most executions a year? Is it still China? Of course it is, and you are going to need to work a lot faster than THAT, America.

My Folk used to kill mortals who offended us, and blight their livestock and crops.

Nowadays, I curse computers with terrible problems and cause hard drives to fail UTTERLY when I am enraged.

If you want to stay on my good side, and believe me, you do, do not say anything about the breasts on my back or my ox tail.

Seriously. Don't.
