Lets kill 100 people. Nah, we can let him live. Just put him in prison and let him sit there with a chance of escaping. :lol:


I am for the death penalty. But only in the extreme cases.

I think its worse someone spending their whole life in prison, much more of a punishment, like a kind of torture. But thats in my ideal world, here in the UK for a murder you are looking at about 20ish years. Which is just unfair to the victim but more so to their relatives and friends, as justice has not been severed.

That would never work as it would be considered morally incorrect to impolitely kill serial killers. Yeah, like that makes sense.

I heard that the death penalty costs more than an inmate living in prison for 60 years.

It is because of all the court fees.

According to California's Legislative Analyst's Office, it costs about $47,100 to keep an inmate in jails in California. The cost to execute an inmate is around $1,800,000 of taxpayer's money. So, an inmate has to be in jail for around 38 years to cover the cost of one execution.
