Death is easier than a life sentence. Some criminals deserve to rot in jail. The death penalty is also more expensive than just confining the criminal to prison for a lifetime.

Pray tell me how you figure a life term in prison is less expensive than a death sentence?

I know energy prices are soaring but I'm sure the gas or electricity along with the add-ons, used to burn a human being would be significantly less than providing food and accommodation for years on end.

Apparently the average cost to keep a prisoner in the penitentiary is around $25,000, p.a.

"The study counted death penalty case costs through to execution and found that the median death penalty case costs $1.26 million. Non-death penalty cases were counted through to the end of incarceration and were found to have a median cost of $740,000."

it's ONLY more expensive because liberals give murderers far more assistance than that of the victims families.

The current never ending appeals process for murderers was designed by leftists. Democrats see violent criminals as a part of their voter base, that's why you see leftist politicians like Bernie Sanders and "The Squad" advocating to giving violent felons sitting in prison voter rights and opportunities.

Hello m:

Yes.. It's double jeopardy.. The condemned person serves what is ordinarily a life sentence and then he's put to death.. That ain't right..

The death penalty should be administered within 1-2 years of appeals maximum. Many murderers are rewarded with life prison terms as they are often already very accustomed and acclimated to the prison environment. The fact that murderers in prison fight very hard against being executed only demonstrates further that the death penalty is a very just penalty.

Excon, name calling doesn't win debates around here. Many violent criminals/murders have previously spent time in our prison system. Their FEAR is the REAL WORLD, examples; getting a job, supporting their families and giving back to the community.

Violent murderers are against the death penalty because they don't mind the prison existence, even if for life. The death penalty takes away that option and fairly gives control back to our justice system and the rights of the victims families.

Side: No
