So then here is my question. That handful of people, why do you keep them in jail? They end up being paid for by the taxpayers, the people they damaged  live with knowing the criminal is still alive, and a whole bunch of other problems that would be simplified if the heinous criminal was just killed right off the bat.


Without trials and appeals you mean?

That would just demean the entire system.

 

With trials and appeals it works out to be cheaper to keep them in prison.

So wait, are you claiming people that are sentence to life don't go through trials and appeals?

Thought I'd replied to this, must have forgot. In America the extensive process of the death penalty makes it more expensive than life in prison on average.
