It does cost more to keep someone on death row in most cases than to lock 'em up for life, due do the cost of the automatic appeals that occur in most jurisdictions when capital punishment is imposed. It almost defeats the purpose. Still, I'd rather see these people get put away for good and have to face prison justice. No prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment there. . .
