I remember when that happened to Geoghan. I know it sounds evil but I actually laughed when I heard about it. He got just what he deserved.

Hell yeah. Did you see that fucking scumbag priest act all indignant when he was sentenced to prison? He was like, "I shouldn't be punished like this". I smiled when I saw on the news that he'd been offed. I hope that piece of shit suffered as the life ebbed from him.

wrong.
its easy to make blank statements isnt it. how about proving it.
" Fact: The death penalty is extraordinarily expensive. Contrary to popular intuition, a system with a death penalty is vastly more expensive than one where the maximum penalty is keeping murderers in prison for life. A 1982 New York study estimated the death penalty cost conservatively at three times that of life imprisonment, the ratio that Texas (with a system that is on the brink of collapse due to underfunding) has experienced. In Florida, each execution runs the state $3,200,000--six times the expense of life imprisonment. California has succeeded in executing just two defendants (one a volunteer) since 1976, but could save about $90,000,000 per year by abolishing the death penalty and resentencing all of its Death Row inmates to life."
and lets not forget that prisons provide work for our hard working tax payers.

Where'd you get that info?
I've heard that all my life from various people, and I fail to understand how execution is more costly than lifelong incarceration.

basically before we can execute someone in america, we need to prove them guilty, by all means. and this means several court appeals n such. which is payed by the state. basically going through all the safe guards to try and stop from executing someone who is actually innocent (or whos crime was not at the extent of what was previously thought).

How come we cant still do things like our founding fathers would have? When we sentence someone to life all we are doing is putting them in an early retirement home, with A/C, Heat, square meals, television, etc. Granted the food might not be the best, and you dont ever get to see the sunrise. Back in the day we would have hung this same person in the streets of downtown to SET AN EXAMPLE. People hear about the death penalty now a days but its not quite broadcasted on cable TV. I think there would be a lot less crime if the general public had a chance to watch the death of every convicted felon. I bet Washington, Franklin, and the rest of the boys are just rolling in their graves about now.

This is a bogus argument. Before someone can be locked away for life there needs to be a trial proving them guilty. And just because they didn't get the death penalty doesn't mean they can't appeal.

No, it isn't. You said those things like they only apply to executions, thus making life sentencing cheaper. Are you forgetting which side of the argument you're on?

im leaning towards getting rid of the death penalty, purely for the economics of it. i think what youre refering to is a regular apeal. where as the perpetrator that is to be executed will get more than just one trial. i read a few studies on this this week (gotta do a class paper on it) and so far i have yet to find a study which disagrees with what i have just said...
if you can find suitable data showing the contrare, then please post. otherwise your argument has no support. you need the data boi!!

you are correct. as strange as it sounds, capital punishment costs far more than life in prison with no parole.
Quote:
Prosecuting a death penalty case is extremely expensive for a state and drains money that could be used for education and social programs. It costs more than sentencing a prisoner to life without parole.
The most comprehensive death penalty study in the country found that the death penalty costs North Carolina $2.16 million more per execution than a non-death penalty murder case with a sentence of life imprisonment (Duke University, May 1993). In its review of death penalty expenses, the State of Kansas concluded that capital cases are 70% more expensive than comparable non-death penalty cases.

Very interesting, bi0. Thanks for the link. The ACLU doesn't explain why it's more costly to prosecute a death penalty case than a life sentence, though. Is it just because of appeals?

It's because they are still in prison 10+ years and many many appeals on top of that. And then the execution.
All in all I would imagine that that equals 20-25 years of someone with life and no death penalty. I'm just guessing, I don't know but I am sure there are statistics somewhere. If I wasn't so high I would look it up.....Anyways, the average life sentence equals out to less than whatever the cost for the death row inmate is.
Not to mention that they completely seperate death row inmates from all of the other ones. I'm sure that that adds a lot of cost as well (more employees, etc.)
