If you think about it, life in prison is really a waste of everything.
It's a waste of tax money, it's a waste of property space. It's not all that much of a punishment, the individual is basically told "Hey, you did something horrendous, here's a free bed, and free meals for the rest of your life, it may not be glamorous, but it's FREE!"
Don't even get me started on the multiple life sentencings.... I mean what the hell, if they did something so bad you sentence them to 2 life terms why not just put a bullet in their head.
Prisons are a drain on everything.

Life in prison costs less then the death penalty.

i've seen this thrown around in the thread a couple times now. I'm not disagreeing, but i'm curious and would like to learn more. Do you have a link?

I'll try and find one. I can't believe that the economics matters so much. Life is priceless, especially if it turns out to be innocent life.

Just type in 'cost of death sentence vs life imprisonment' to google for loads more links.
