Depends. On one hand it makes it to where we aren't paying for them to live there on the other -it's a worse punishment to remain in prison forever, preferrably solitary confinment in total darkness. Soo... idk. Depends on the crime and person

Surprisingly, the death penalty costs more than life in prison. I supported the death penalty until I found out that statistic. Now I just view it as pointless.

Read the study, capital court cases cost more than non-capital court cases. Nothing to do with the cost of execution vs life in prison.
