To me, murdering someone (which the death penalty has to be - the intent is there, isn't it?) because they murdered someone else, just lowers humankind to the level of the first murderer.
What comes next? Chopping off someone's penis because they're a rapist? Chopping off a hand for theft? Stoning a woman for infidelity?
No, murderers should be locked up with no TV, no phone, no smokes... And life should mean life. No time off their sentence for good behaviour, if they behave inside, let them see a movie every six months or have a bar of chocolate, whatever, just don't let them out until God, or nature or whoever you believe in yourself, desides to end their punishment.
Besides, been locked up in a jail like that for eternity is possibly worse than death!
So killing someone to save some money is ok now, is it?
Plus, where's the punishment if they're dead? They're just dead.

There's no such thing as just dead. When you are dead, that's it. There's no parole from that.
And I suppose the fear of death would be considered punishment...
Btw, I am not in favour of the death penalty.

If life means life, the world is still pretty safe. There's no need to kill anyone.
You and me (as taxpayers) still have to incur the cost though!
We also incur the cost of a lot of other worthless things thanks to our Government. I'd much rather they spend our taxes to ensure these people are never on our streets again than on another useless quango or tribunal.
Either way, I think we all agree that if somebody murders somebody and gets life, they should never see the outside of a prison again. Sod light sentences, sod concurrent sentences, sod being fearful of infringing upon their human rights.

I think the costs could be reduced by cutting out the $ky Sports subscriptions and the flat screen TVs.

No , we cant all agree they should never see the outside of a prision again and as for infringing on human rights -wait until your son or daughter is caught up in the legal system !

To be honest if they were found guilty of stabbing two men in the temple with a screwdriver because they bumped somebody outside a chipper then they'd be disowned immediately and I'd feel very little sympathy for whatever happened to them after that.

I don't know the costs of keeping someone in prison for a life term or to end their life but I'm not so sure that the cost involved should be a factor in determining whether to end someone's life or not!

it shouldn't be, but the cost issue often comes up.

The cost of a system which imposes a maximum penalty of lifetime incarceration instead of the death penalty would be $11.5 million per year.

That must be some drink and nibbles session after the execution! Don't think that is taking the cumlative cost of keeping people in jail

Well... two trials are required, one to establish guilt or innocence, one to determine whether they would get the death penalty or not, more appeals are needed, more lawyers who specialize in death penalty litigation, more investigators and experts... And it costs more to keep them on death row than in the general prison population.
In Texas, a death penalty case costs an average of $2.3 million. That's about three times as much as keeping someone in a high security, single cell for 40 years. In Florida, each execution costs $3.2 million. In California it's been reported that they could save $90 million annually by abolishing the death penalty. New York estimates that if the death penalty was implemented it would cost $118 annually.
