@Football. Actually life imprisonment is cheaper than the death penalty in the USA.
Personally I'm against the death penalty for a couple of reasons. The main one is because I do not believe that the state should be allowed to kill it's citizens in cold blood. There is also the fact that in all circumstances innocent people will end up being executed, which is bluntly the state murdering an innocent citizen.
Also the deterrent effect has never had any solid statistical evidence behind it.
